Ancient Greek pottery. Refer to the Chance (Fall 2000) study of 837 pieces of pottery found at the ancient Greek settlement at Phylakopi, presented in Exercise. Of the 837 pieces, 183 were painted with either a curvilinear, geometric, or naturalistic decoration. Find a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of all pottery artifacts at Phylakopi that are painted. Interpret the resulting interval.
Excavating ancient pottery. Archaeologists excavating the ancient Greek settlement at Phylakopi classified the pottery found in trenches. (Chance, Fall 2000.) The accompanying table describes the collection of 837 pottery pieces uncovered in a particular layer at the excavation site. Construct and interpret a graph that will aid the archaeologists in understanding the distribution of the types of pottery found at the site.
