How would you figure this out? 

Weatherwise is a magazine published by the American Meteorological Society. One issue gives a rating system used to classify Nor'easter
storms that frequently hit New England and can cause much damage near the ocean. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of u =
16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually
measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a reading of 33 waves showed an average wave height of x = 16.5
feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that o = 3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily)
increasing above the severe rating? Use a = 0.01.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
