Interpretation:
The least square analysis needs to be performed to determine the intercept, slopeand regression statistics, including the standard deviation about regression.
Concept introduction:
The least square analysis is defined as the method in which the final answer for the set of data points is calculated by the minimizing the summation of residue of set of data point from the given curve.
The equation for straight line is represented as follows:

Now, we must determine the concentration of gold and its uncertainty. The concentration of gold is x. intercept of the graph, because that is the point at which the gold is absence so the difference between that and the zero added point must be the gold concentration in sample.
Now, x is a function of c and m. Thus, the uncertainty in them will be propagated to x as well. We have the following since m and c are independent.
x = x(m,c)
By propagation of uncertainty,
This is, however, the standard error. Assuming the distribution of value to be normal about the value of x, this value would give an interval of 63.5% probability. However, if we want a 95% probability interval, we will have to multiply the error in x by 1.96.
