1.Three-circle, red-on-white is one distinctive pattern paintedon ceramic vessels of the Anasazi period found at the Wind Mountainarchaeological site. At one excavation, a sample of 174 potsherdsindicated that 80 were of the three-circle, red-on-white pattern.How many ceramic potsherds must be found and identified if we areto be 95% confident that the sample proportion p̂ of such potsherdsis within 6.0% of the population proportion of three-circle,red-on-white patterns found at this excavation site? (Round youranswer up to the nearest whole number.)
