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):
- (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.

- cientists studied the chemical makeup of buried tills (glacial drifts) in order to estimate the age of the glacial drifts. The ratio of the elements aluminum (Al) and ryllium (Be) in sediment is related to the duration of burial. The till specimens were obtained from five different boreholes (labeled UMRB-1, UMRB-2, UMRB-3, SWRA nd SD). The Al/Be ratios for a sample of 26 buried till specimens were determined and are shown in the accompanying table. Conduct an analysis of variance of the ata. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate differences among the mean Al/Be ratios for the five boreholes? Test, using α = 0.10.
