THIS IS ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, PLEASE HELP

13. Your research team is trying to determine if there is a difference (with an allowable error of 5%) between using flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) and inductively couple plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in the measurement of lead in your samples. You expect that the ICP-MS will give you higher measurements than FAAS. Your labmate runs the experiment by running different samples for each method. Unfortunately they have not taken this course, so they run all the statistical tests in excel and ask you to analyze the data for them. What is your conclusion based on the data? Be sure to clearly indicate which test(s) and value(s) you used to determine your answer.
