A biosensor was developed to measure the concentration of aqueous arsenic. To determine the accuracy of the sensor, the sensor was tested against a standard reference solution of known concentration. The concentration measured by the new biosensor can be considered accurate if the standard deviations for the concentration determined by the biosensor and the accepted, known concentration of the reference solution are not significantly different. the standard deviations for the concentration determined by the biosensor and the accepted, known concentration of the reference solution are not significantly different, and calculated < ttable. the accepted, known concentration of the reference solution falls outside the 95% confidence interval for the biosensor results. the accepted, known concentration of the reference solution falls within the 95% confidence interval for biosensor results.

The protein concentration of a protein isolate was determined using the Bradford assay. Five dilution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were prepared from a 5.00 mg/mL BSA stock solution. To these dilutions, 100 µl of Bradford reagent were added. After 5 minutes, the absorbance was taken at 595 nm. Standard # BSA, in mg/mL Volume of Bradford reagent, A595 in mL 1 5.0 0.000 1.00 5.0 0.134 3 2.00 5.0 0.265 4 3.00 5.0 0.388 4.00 5.0 0.497 The supernatant dilution was prepared by mixing 49 µL of the protein isolate with 16 µL water. The absorbance was taken 5 minutes after addition of 100 mL Bradford reagent. Calculate the protein concentration (in mg/mL) of the original isolate if the absorbance at 595 nm was 0.413. Note: Final answer format must be x.xxx (three decimal places). Round off only in the final answer. Do not round off in the middle of calculation.

If the standard addition intercept is the major source of uncertainty, find the uncertainty in the concentration of Sr in tooth enamel in parts per million. Find the 95% confidence interval for Sr in tooth enamel.
A quantitative analysis for an analyte gives a mean concentration of 12.6 ppm. The standard deviation due to the method, sm, is found to be 1.1 ppm, and that due to sampling, ss, is 2.1 ppm. By how much does the overall variance change if sm is improved by 10% and ss is improved by 15%?
Suppose a normally distributed set of data with 8900 observations has a mean of 123 and a standard deviation of 16. Use the 68-95-99.7 Rule to determine the number of observations in the data set expected to be above a value of 107. Round your answer to the nearest whole value. Hint: This problem is asking for how many observations not the percent. Answer Tip: Don't round any probabilities or percentages in your calculations. Keep all decimal places and round at the END of the problem.
An ore sample was analyzed for its Fe content. 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. The calculated F value is and the table value of Fis 3 in your book for critical values of F. O 6.61; 7.39 O 6.61; 9.36 O 0.151; 9.36 O 2.57; 7.39 O 6.61; 6.98 Refer to Table 4-

Q5. Two methods were used to measure fluorescence lifetime of a dye. The average result for Method 1 is = 1.382 ns with a standard deviation of s1 = 0.039 and n1= 7. The average result for Method 2 is = 1.346 ns with a standard deviation of s2 = 0.015 and n2= 5. Is there a difference between the two methods at the 95% confidence level using 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. Does your method give a statistically valid value at the 95% confidence level?
