6. ### hypothesis testing, stuck at finding standard deviation

here's the actual question: The calculated nitrogen content of pure benzanilide is 7.10%. Five repeat analyses of "representative" samples yielded values of 7.11%, 7.08%, 7.06%, 7.06%, and 7.04%. Using an ALPHA level of size 5%, can we conclude that the experimental mean differs...
7. ### Finding P(AnB') (Homework)

Hi there, this is my first post on this forum. I am trying to find the probability of P(BnA') the data given is: P(A) = 1/3 P(B) = 1/3 P(AnB) = 1/10 My attempt: P(A') = 1-(1/3) = 2/3 P(BnA')= P(B) * P(A') = 1/3 * 2/3 = 2/9 The reason I think what I did was wrong is because I...
