Question 3:
The FDA regulates that fresh Albacore tuna fish that is consumed is allowed to contain 0.82 ppm of mercury or less. A laboratory is estimating the amount of mercury in tuna fish for a new company and needs to have a margin of error within 0.023 ppm of mercury with 97% confidence. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.143 ppm of mercury. What sample size is needed? Round up to the nearest integer, do not include any decimals. Answer: ___183

The population standard deviation for the height of college football players is 2.7 inches. If we want to estimate a 95% confidence interval for the population mean height of these players with a 0.65 margin of error, how many randomly selected players must be surveyed? (Round up your answer to nearest whole number, do not include any decimals) Answer: ___67

Using a 25mL pipette, you prepare a standard solution by pipetting 25.00mL of the standard iron solution[0.25g/L] into a 500mL volumetric flask.
Then, using a 10mL pipette you transfer a 4mL aliquot of this solution into a 50mL volumetric flask and dilute up to the mark.
Calculate the % uncertainty.

a. 500 mg
b. 250 mg
c. 60 mg
4. The method described above is to be used for the analysis of ores that assay about 1.2%
gold. What minimum sample mass should be taken if the relative error resulting from a 0.4-mg loss is not to exceed
a. -0.1%
b. -0.8%

There are three types of error in the laboratory: random error, systematic error, and gross error. Elaborate how can you use standard deviation and percent error in identifying the errors made in the measurement.

During a titration experiment, 50.00 mL of a certain solution needs to be transferred to an Erlenmeyer flask. To measure the volume, a student used a calibrated 10-mL pipette five times. If the pipette delivers an actual volume of 9.98 mL with an uncertainty of ±0.02 mL, what will be the uncertainty in the final volume?
