Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The counting rate 9cpm is the background counting rate in the laboratory which was measured at the time period of 3 min and it is required that the value of standard relative deviation should be less than the 5% (σRc/Rc<0.05). The total number of count is to be determined when the counting rate is 50cpm.

Concept introduction:

The formula for the standard deviation for the corrected counting rate is given as-

σRc=Rxtx+Rbtb ……. (1)

Where,

Rx = counting rate for sample

Rb = counting rate for background

tx = time required for counting rate for sample

tb = time required for counting rate for background

σRc = standard deviation for the corrected counting rate

Relative standard deviation is represented by the following formula-

=σRcRc …… (2)

Also,

Rc=RxRb

Interpretation:

The counting rate 9cpm is the background counting rate in the laboratory which was measured at the time period of 3 min and it is required that the value of standard relative deviation should be less than the 5% (σRc/Rc<0.05). The total number of count is to be determined when the counting rate is 300cpm.

For the determination of iron in used jet engine oil, 30 analyzes with 3 repetitions each were made by atomic absorption method and the standard deviation was found s=2.4 µg Fe/mL. Since this standard deviation value is close to the ϭ value, the iron concentration of 18.5 µg Fe/mL(a) by a single analysis,(b) as the average of the two analyzes,(c) Calculate the 80% and 95% confidence intervals if found as the mean of four analyses.
8) Two different analytical methods are compared for determining Ca. The following are two sets of data. Set 1 Set 2 155.779 155.784 155.787 155.787 155.813 155.765 155.781 155.793 i. i. Determine the mean and the standard deviation in Set 1. Calculate the 95% confidence limit for data in Set 1. Identify a possible outlier in Set 2. Use the Q-test to determine whether it can be retained or rejected at 95% confidence level. ii.
A solution is prepared by weighing 5.0000 g of cesium iodide into a 100-mL volumetric flask. The balance used has a precision of 0.2 mg reported as a standard deviation, and the volumetric flask could be filled with a precision of 0.15mL also reported as a standard deviation. What is the estimated standard deviation of concentration (g/mL)?
