A standard method for analyzing aspirin tablets has a known variance of 20. A sample of 10 aspirin tablets is selected and analysed for the amount of aspirin using a modified method, yielding the following results: 254, 249, 252, 252, 249, 249, 250, 247, 251, 252. Determine whether the precision of the modified method is significantly different from that of the standard method at, alpha(a) = 0.10

Analytical chemistry is a particular field within the broader spectrum of the chemical sciences, in which many times the focus of analytical experiments is to develop new methods to analyze compounds, either structurally or by determining concentrations of compounds. One of the processes analytical chemists use to determine the exact concentration of a working solution is called standardization. In your own words, describe the differences between a primary, secondary, and tertiary standard, and describe the underlying concept behind the standardization process. Why is it done?
