• B) 3.6 × 10^-35 M, CuS
• C) 3.6 × 10^-35 M, FeS
• D) 1.4 × 10^-16 M, CuS
• E) No precipitate will form at any concentration of sulfide ion.

Definitions:

Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test

A nonparametric statistical hypothesis test used for comparing two independent samples to assess whether their population mean ranks differ.

Un-standardized Test Statistic

An un-standardized test statistic measures the degree of deviation from the null hypothesis without adjusting for scale or variability in the data.

Standardized Test Statistic

A value calculated from sample data that is used to assess the viability of a null hypothesis in the context of a significance test.

Nonparametric Procedures

Nonparametric procedures are statistical methods that do not assume a specific distribution for the data, often used when the data doesn't meet the assumptions required for parametric tests.
