Questionpueblo was occupied around 1298 A.D. (based on evidence from potsherds and stone tools). The following data give trem-ring dates (A.D.) from adjacent archaeological sites:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline 1196 & 1274 & 1275 & 1282 & 1282 & 1278 & 1279 & 1323 & 1324 & 1237 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
§ USE SALT
(a) Use a calculator with sample mean and standard deviation keys to find and . (Write your standard deviation in years and round it to four decimal place.)
1298 A.D.? Use a level of significance.
(i) What is the level of significance?
0.01
State the null and alternate hypotheses. (Enter for as needed.)
(ii) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution.
We'll use the standard normal, since we assume that has a normal distribution and is unknown.
We'll use the standard normal, since we assume that has a normal distribution and is known.
We'll use the Student's , since we assume that has a normal distribution and is unknown.
We'll use the Student's , since we assume that has a normal distribution and is known.
Compute the appropriate sampling distribution value of the sample test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
