I've tried various ways of renaming or removing statements, but am embarrassed to say I can't figure it out.

Here's all the myArray code in my ViewController.m file

NSArray *myArray;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSArray *myArray;

Here's all the myArray code in my ViewController.h file

@synthesize myArray;
- (IBAction)hello:(id)sender {
	static int lastChosen=0;
	
	NSArray *myArray= [NSArray arrayWithObjects: 
					   @"Response 1.",
					   @"Response 2.", nil];
	int length = [myArray count];
	
	int chosen;
 {
		chosen = (float)random() * length /RAND_MAX;	
	} while(chosen==lastChosen);
	
	NSString *item = [myArray objectAtIndex: chosen];
	
	helloLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", item];
	[helloLabel setFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Verdana-BoldItalic" size:24]];
	
	lastChosen=chosen;
}

I appreciate the patience, and help. I'm sure it's frustrating getting these newbie questions.

dude you ARE declaring that array both in your header and .m! Remove the
NSArray * from that statement in your .m, so your .m should look like this:

@synthesize myArray;
- (IBAction)hello:(id)sender {
	static int lastChosen=0;
	
        myArray= [NSArray arrayWithObjects: 
					   @"Response 1.",
					   @"Response 2.", nil];
	int length = [myArray count];
	
	int chosen;
 {
		chosen = (float)random() * length /RAND_MAX;	
	} while(chosen==lastChosen);
	
	NSString *item = [myArray objectAtIndex: chosen];
	
	helloLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", item];
	[helloLabel setFont: [UIFont fontWithName:@"Verdana-BoldItalic" size:24]];
	
	lastChosen=chosen;
}
