To test the quality of the work of a commercial laboratory, duplicate analyses of a purified benzoic

Question:

To test the quality of the work of a commercial laboratory, duplicate analyses of a purified benzoic acid (68.8% C, 4.953% H) sample were requested. It is assumed that the relative standard deviation of the method is sr → σ = 4 ppt for carbon and 6 ppt for hydrogen. The means of the reported results are 68.5% C and 4.882% H. At the 95% confidence level, is there any indication of systematic error in either analysis?
