In replicate analyses, the carbohydrate content of a glycoprotein ( a protein with sugars attached to it) is found to be 12.6, 11.9, 13.0, 12.7, and 12.5 g of carbohydrate per 100 g of protein. 

(d)  If the and s are unchanged, but there are 10 measurements (N=10) instead of 5, what would be the confidence interval? 

(e)  How does increasing the number of replicate measurements affect the reliability of measurements? Explain your answer. (Hint: better precision gives smaller confidence intervals)  

(f) Based on the data given, which of these can be considered an outlier? Prove it (Use Grubb's Test)
