The described situation requires inference about a mean or means. Identify the response variable and whether the setting involves a single sample, a matched pairs, or two independent samples.

To check a new analytical method, a chemist obtains a reference specimen of known concentration from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. She then makes 20 measurements of the concentration of this specimen with the new method and checks for bias by comparing the mean result with the known concentration.

there is a website that will find this for you

Step-by-step explanation:

i would, but i'm in the middle of helping someone else. If you don't get it just comment and i'll help you after. MArk this the branliest ahahaha. Godd luck!

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
