- For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.Santa Fe black-on-white is a type of pottery commonly found at archaeological excavations at a certain monument. At one excavation site a sample of 594 potsherds was found, of which 368 were identified as Santa Fe black-on-white. (a) Let p represent the proportion of Santa Fe black-on-white potsherds at the excavation site. Find a point estimate for p.

- Please help with calculating the % error. Thank you.arrow_forwardIn the book Business Research Methods (5th ed.). Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows: Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers who had no reported accidents in the last year is drawn. She interviews members of both groups to determine if they are smokers or not. The sample results are given in the following table. On-the-Job No 7 Smoker Heavy Moderate Nonsmoker 16 Column total 34 Heavy Moderate Yes Nonsmoker Total 12 6 Expected counts are below observed counts No Accident Total 19 7 9.21 9 Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Column 1 Column 2 16 32 Accident 12 9.79 6 Accident Row Total 7.27 16 15.52 32 7.73 16…arrow_forwardYou want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion.
