Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The presence of the systematic error in the analysis at the 95% confidence interval is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The confidence interval can be calculated as follows:

CI,μ=x¯±tsN

Where,

N = degree of freedom

μ = confidence interval

x¯ = mean

s = standard deviation

t = constant

Or,

tcalc=|x¯μ0s/N|

Null hypothesis-

H0=μ0

A titrimetric method for the determination of calcium in limestone was tested with the analysis of a NIST limestone containing 30.15% CaO. The mean of the four analyzes is 30.26% CaO with a standard deviation of 0.085%. From the data accumulated from many analyzes, s→ϭ=0.094% CaO was found.a) Do the data indicate the presence of systematic error at the 95% confidence level?b) When a value for ϭ is unknown, do the data show a systematic error at the 95% confidence level?

To test the quality of the work of a commercial laboratory, duplicate analyses of apurified benzoic acid (68.8% C, 4.953% H) sample were requested. It is assumed that therelative standard deviation of the method is sr →  = 4 ppt for carbon and 6 ppt forhydrogen. The means of the reported results are 68.5% C and 4.882% H. At the 95%confidence level, is there any indication of systematic error in either analysis?
