Archaeology: Pottery Shards of clay vessels were put together to reconstruct rim diameters of the original ceramic vessels found at the Wind Mountain archaeological site (see source in Problem 7). A random sample of ceramic vessels gave the following rim diameters (in centimeters):

15.9 13.4 22.1 12.7 13.1 19.6 11.7 13.5 17.7 18.1

(a) Use a calculator with mean and sample standard deviation keys to verify that x < 15.8 cm and s < 3.5 cm.

(b) Compute an 80% confidence interval for the population mean m of rim diameters for such ceramic vessels found at the Wind Mountain archaeological site.

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
