Hector is out on an archeological dig. He randomly selected 563 artifacts that he encountered at a particular site and found 271 were pottery shards. He knows that for the area that he is in the proportion of artifacts that are pottery shards is 0.45728242. What percent of artifacts, selected again 563 at a time from another site, would have a higher proportion of pottery shards than what Hector found? If Hector randomly moves to another site and agains randomly selected 563 artifacts, what is the probability that his new site will have less than a proportion of 0.41718112778927 pottery shards? Hector is looking for a site that is an ancient Greek battleground. He knows that in this area if he were to find a battle ground he would find somewhere between 257 and 314 pottery artifacts for every 563 randomly selected. What proportion of sites would be likely candidates for Greek battle sites?
