Ten repeated measurements for percent chloride in a standard known to have a chloride content of exactly 20.00% resulted in a meant Sy = 20.20% t 0.25%, where Sx is the standard deviation (mean=D20.20%, Sx-0.25).

Question
Ten repeated measurements for percent chloride in a standard known to have a
chloride content of exactly 20.00% resulted in a mean t Sx 20.20% t 0.25%,
where Sx is the standard deviation (mean=D20.20%, Sx-D0.25).
Determine whether or not a significant error exists in the measurements at the 80%
confidence level and choose one of the following correct statements:
There is a significant error; the true value is not outside the confidence interval
of 20.20% + 0.11%
There is a significant error; the true value is outside the confidence interval of
20.20% 0.25%
There is no significant error; the difference between true value and the mean is
very close to each other
There is no significant error; the difference between true value and the mean is
outside the confidence interval of + 0.15%
ONone of those is correct
All of them are correct
There is no significant error; the difference between true value and the mean is
within one standard deviation of the mean
