Tradition states that Tara was the seat of the high kings of Ireland. Becuase of its archaelogical importance, Tara has received extensive study. Suppose an archarlogist wants to estimate the density of ferromagnetic artifacts in the Tara region. For this purpose, a random sample of 55 plots, each of size 100 square meters, is used. The number of ferromagnetic artifacts for each plot is determined.
(a) Identify the variable
(b) Is the variable quantitative or qualitative?
(c) What is the implied population?
The archaelogical site of Tara is more than 4000 years old.?
(a) variable is number of artifacts per 100square meters
(b) quantitative
(c) nothing implied. could be random distribution, could be otherwise, hence the multiple plots.
