Question
Archaeology: Artifacts At Burnt Mesa Pueblo, in one of the archaeological excavation sites, the artifact density (number of prehistoric artifacts per 10 liters of sediment) was 1.5 (Source: Bandelier Archaeological Excavation Project: Summer 1990 Excavations at Burnt Mesa Pueblo and Casa del Rito, edited by Kohler, Washington State University Department of Anthropology). Suppose you are going to dig up and examine 50 liters of sediment at this site. Let r ? 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . be a random variable that represents the number of prehistoric arti- facts found in your 50 liters of sediment.
-
(a) Explain why the Poisson distribution would be a good choice for the proba- bility distribution of r. What is l? Write out the formula for the
probability distribution of the random variable r. -
(b) Compute the probabilities that in your 50 liters of sediment you will find two prehistoric artifacts, three prehistoric artifacts, and four prehistoric artifacts.
-
(c) Find the probability that you will find three or more prehistoric artifacts in the 50 liters of sediment.
-
(d) Find the probability that you will find fewer than three prehistoric artifacts in the 50 liters of sediment.

The professor teaches the same course in two different semesters, with a class size of 30 in both. In the first semester, the students completed a quiz each week. In the second semester, the students were not given any quizzes. Assume that the teaching was otherwise identical in each semester. The course percentage grade for each student is given in the sheet titled Test Scores. a. Analyze whether the class that was given the weekly quizzes scored higher on aver- age in the class. Give a 95% confidence interval as well as an appropriate test result. Be sure to comment on the validity of each of the two methods for this data. b.

Setup: JP was curious about the sodium content of organic cornflakes. To investigate this, twenty 300-gram boxes of organic cornflakes were obtained and the sodium content was measured. The data (in milligrams) are as follows: 131.1, 130.7, 130.9, 129.5, 129.6, 128.8, 130.7, 128.3, 128.2, 129.7, 130.1, 129.3, 128.7, 129.0, 129.4, 130.4, 129.5, 130.1, 129.8, 130.0 Task: Perform a hypothesis test using R to determine if you can support a claim that the mean sodium content of this brand of cornflakes differs from 130 milligrams?
