Question: Pigs and prestige in ancient China. It appears that pigs in Stone Age China were not just a source of food. Owning pigs was also a display of wealth. Evidence for this comes from examining burial sites. If the skulls of sacrificed pigs tend to appear along with expensive ornaments, that suggests that the pigs, like the ornaments, signal the wealth and prestige of the person buried. A study of burials from around 3500 B.C. concluded, "there are striking differences in grave goods between burials with pig skulls and burials without them. A test indicates that the two samples of total artifacts are significantly different at the 0.01 level." Explain clearly why "significantly different at the 0.01 level" gives good reason to think that there really is a systematic difference between burials that contain pig skulls and those that lack them.
