Question

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the molecule used for energy storage by all types of living cells (animal, plant, bacterial, yeast, and mold). ATP transfers energy within living cells to power the enzymes needed for cellular functions. It is a key indicator of cellular activity and has been utilized as a measure of cell viability and cytotoxicity in research and drug discovery. Various ATP assays have been developed to rapidly and reliably quantify intracellular ATP. A reliable assay shows that the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) content of a certain type of cell is 111 μmol/100mL. You developed a new assay, which gave the values 117, 119, 111, 115, 120 μmol/100mL for replicate analyses. Do your results agree with the known value at the 95% confidence level? What do these results tell you about your new method?
