12 Normal Curve: Tree Rings Tree rings dates were used extensively in archaeological studies. At one site on the mesa, tree ring dates gave a mean date of ?1 = ???? 1272 with standard deviation ?1 = 35 ?????. At a second site the tree ring dates gave a mean ?2 = ???? 1122 with standard deviation ?2 = 40 ?????. Assume that both sites had dates that were approximately normally distributed. In the first area, an object was found and dated as ?1 = ???? 1250. In the second area, another object was found and dated as ?2 = ???? 1234.     (a) Convert both x1 and x2 values to z values, and locate both of these values under the standard normal curve. (b) Which of these two items is the more unusual as an archaeological find in its location

#12 Normal Curve: Tree Rings Tree rings dates were used extensively in archaeological
studies. At one site on the mesa, tree ring dates gave a mean date of ?1 = ???? 1272 with
standard deviation ?1 = 35 ?????. At a second site the tree ring dates gave a mean ?2
= ???? 1122 with standard deviation ?2 = 40 ?????. Assume that both sites had dates that
were approximately normally distributed. In the first area, an object was found and dated as ?1
= ???? 1250. In the second area, another object was found and dated as ?2 = ???? 1234.
