At one excavation, a sample of 179 potsherds indicated that 70 were of the three-circle, red-on-white pattern. (a) Find a point estimate p̂ for the proportion of all ceramic potsherds at this site that are of the three-circle, red-on-white pattern. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) Compute a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion p of all ceramic potsherds with this distinctive pattern found at the site. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) lower limit upper limit

Answer 1

Given,

Three-circle, red-on-white is one distinctive pattern painted on ceramic vessels of the Anasazi period found at an archaeological site. At one excavation,

A sample of 179 potsherds indicated that 70 were of the three-circle, red-on-white pattern.

Therefore, n=179 and x= 70
