Question

Transcribed Image Text:A new method was created to
determine arsenic in rice. To validate
this method, a reference standard
was used with a certified
concentration of 2.1 ppm of Arsenic,
with a standard deviation of 0.7 ppm
. When analyzing the reference
standard 7 times, with the new
method, an average of 2.87 ppm was
obtained with a standard deviation of
0.4 ppm. These results show that the
new method Has it been validated?
Does it have systematic errors? Has a
precision similar to that of the
reference standard

- A set of samples from an abandoned industrial site detected a suspected groundwater contaminant at a mean concentration of 0.045 µg/L with a standard deviation of 0.007 µg/L.

She determined the standard deviation (?)(s) for the method to be 0.440.44 ppb and assumed that ?s was a good approximation of ?σ . As a test, she used this method to evaluate the methylmercury content in a National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard and determined the unknown amount to be within 0.210.21 ppb (?)(μ) of the known mean with 99% probability.

Student A analyzed the sample a total of six times and her results had a standard deviation of 1.33. The same sample was analyzed five times by Student B and his results had a standard deviation of 3.42. To determine if their standard deviations are similar, they perform an F test.

- You are developing a procedure for determining traces of copper in biological materials using a wet digestion followed by measurements by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. In order to test the validity of the method, you obtain a NIST orchard leaves standard reference material and analyze this material with your procedure five times and obtain a mean of 12.27 ppm with a standard deviation of 0.097 ppm. The NIST sample is listed as 11.7 ppm.
