Question

Sherds of clay vessels were put together to reconstruct rim diameters of the original ceramic vessels at the Wind Mountain archaeological site†. 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 find the sample mean x and sample standard deviation s. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

x = cm

s = cm

(b) Compute a 99% confidence interval for the population mean μ of rim diameters for such ceramic vessels found at the Wind Mountain archaeological site. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

lower limit cm

upper limit cm
