Hello everyone!

Here is the problem:
I have 4 methods and 4 bases in some kind of calculations. I had to calculate energy value for combination of each method with each base, so I have 16 values of energy for the same chemical compound. I have also a calculation time for each combination. And now I need to choose the best combination of method and base, it should have the shortest calculation time possible and the most precise value of energy (I have the reference value which I need to compare my results with). Of course, the better precision I get the worse calculation is.

That's why our proffesor wants us to choose "some kind of statistical test" to compare the results but at my university we weren't taught so much about them so I have no idea which one would be the best option here.

Could someone say me which test should I choose and (if it's possible) describe shortly how to use it?
