Archaeology: Excavations The Wind Mountain archaeological site is located in southwestern New Mexico. Wind Mountain was home to an ancient culture of prehistoric Native Americans called Anasazi.

A random sample of excavations at Wind Mountain gave the following depths (in centimeters) from present-day surface grade to the location of significant archaeological artifacts (Source: Mimbres Mogollon Archaeology, by A. Woosley and A. McIntyre, University of New Mexico Press).

(a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to verify that x < 74.2 cm and s < 18.3 cm.

(b) Compute a 95% confidence interval for the mean depth m at which archaeological artifacts from the Wind Mountain excavation site can be found.

For Problems 4–19, categorize each problem according to the parameter being estimated: proportion p, mean m, difference of means m1 2m2, or difference of proportions p1 2p2. Then solve the problem.AppendixLO1
