Question

The copper content of 18-carat gold was measured by two methods for six different samples collected from a jewelry production plant. Sample Method 1 Method 2 A 2.2% 2.5% B 1.8% 2.2% C 2.5% 3.0% D 3.0% 3.2% E 2.6% 2.3% F 2.6% 2.7% Which test would you use to determine if the results obtained by the two methods agree within experimental error?

Answer:

Paired t test

Explanation:

The paired sample t test is used to measure or compare the mean of two observations or samples by measuring each subject two times as is seen above with the gold measurement which would result in two sets or pair of samples in a statistical procedure. We observe from the question that we measure each gold with two methods and then compare result of the two methods in terms of their mean error using the paired t test.
