Question

Question;Question 1 of 20;1.0/ 1.0 Points;A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet;for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a storm is in progress with a severe;storm class rating. 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.
