To determine the organic material in a dried lake bed, the percent carbon by mass is measured at two different locations. To compare the means of the two different locations, it must first be determined whether the standard deviations of the two locations are different. Location 1 standard deviation: 0.050 Location 2 standard deviation: 0.34 What is the calculated ? value for comparing the standard deviations?

Dr. Caras was characterizing a cytochrome (an iron containing protein) from a new strain of bacteria. He obtained eight measurements of the percent iron in the protein: 0.3205%, 0.3202%, 0.3196%, 0.3198%, 0.3316%, 0.3197%, 0.3208%, and 0.3197%. Calculate the mean () and standard deviation (s) for these results. x = Use the Grubbs test to determine if one of these values is an outlier. What is the value of Gealeulated? Gcalculated = Should this potential outlier be rejected with 95% confidence? Critical values of G can be found in this table. The potential outlier should be kept. The potential outlier should be rejected.
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)?
