Weatherwise magazine is published in association with the American Meteorological Society. Volume 46, Number 6 has a rating system to classify Nor'easter storms that frequently hit New England states and can cause much damage near the ocean coast. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating.
(a) Let us say that we want to set up a statistical test to see if the wave action (i. e., height) is dying down or getting worse. What would be the null hypothesis regarding average wave height?
μ < 16.4 μ > 16.4 μ = 16.4 μ =/ 16.4
(b) If you wanted to test the hypothesis that the storm is getting worse, what would you use for the alternate hypothesis?μ < 16.4 μ = 16.4 μ =/ 16.4 μ > 16.4(c) If you wanted to test the hypothesis that the waves are dying down, what would you use for the alternate hypothesis?μ =/ 16.4 μ = 16.4 μ < 16.4 μ > 16.4

Which mathematical statements are true? 1) if 3 is an odd number, then 3 times 3 is an even number. 2) if 6 is less than 7, then 4 is greater than 7. 3) six is divisible by 3, and 10 is a multiple of 2. 4) the average of the data is greater than the largest value in the data, or it’s less than the largest value in the data. 5) the slope of a linear graph is its rate of change, and the graph’s y-intercept is the initial value. 6) if an equilateral triangle has equal angles, then all its angles will measure 45°.
