Hi can you correct the wrong questions.
Transcribed Image Text:Sketch the sampling distribution and show the area corresponding to the P-value.

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level a?
At the a = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.01 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.01 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
(e) State your conclusion in the context of the application.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence to claim average peak wind gusts are higher in January.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim average peak wind gusts are higher in January.
O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence to claim average peak wind gusts are higher in January.
O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim average peak wind gusts are higher in January.
