compared t-critical with t-calculated and 95% confidence interval to answer this question
Comparing two means. Horvat and co-workers used atomic absorption spectroscopy to determine the concentration of Hg in coal fly ash. Of particular interest to the authors was developing an appropriate procedure for digesting samples and releasing the Hg for analysis. As part of their study they tested several reagents for digesting samples. Their results using HNO3 and using a 1+3 mixture of HNO3 and HCl are shown here. All concentrations are given as ppb Hg sample.
HNO3: 161, 165, 160, 167, 166
1+3 HNO3–HCl: 159, 145, 140, 147, 143, 156
Determine whether there is a significant difference between these methods at the 95% confidence interval.
Comparison of experimental data to “known” value. Monna and co-workers used radioactive isotopes to date sediments from lakes and estuaries.21 To verify this method they analyzed a 208Po standard known to have an activity of 77.5 decays/min, obtaining the following results.
77.09, 75.37, 72.42, 76.84, 77.84, 76.69, 78.03, 74.96, 77.54, 76.09, 81.12, 75.75
Do the results differ from the expected results at the 95% confidence interval?
