the samples are close together.
OB. A prediction based on the data is reliable, because each sample
has 10 data points.
O C. A prediction based on the data is not completely reliable, because
the means are not the same.
D. A ediction based on the data is not completely reliable, because
the means of samples 1 and 2 are greater than 9 and the mean of
