Question
Chapter 5, Problem 21A
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The uncertainty in the measurement of last digit while measuring the width of page with the help of ruler needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: Precision and accuracy are two major parameters to check the error percentage in any measurement. Different measurement errors cause uncertainty in the measurement.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
The uncertainty in measurement from ruler will always exist when making observed measurements. It is mainly arise due to visual estimate.
The reading of numbers on the ruler causes uncertainty in the measurement as it added certain error in the reading.

- There is an instrument in Johnson 334 that measures total-reflectance x-ray fluorescence (TXRF) to do elemental analysis (i.e., determine what elements are present in a sample). A researcher is preparing a to measure calcium content in a series of well water samples by TXRF with an internal standard of vanadium (atomic symbol: V). She has prepared a series of standard solutions to ensure a linear instrument response over the expected Ca concentration range of 40-80 ppm. The concentrations of Ca and V (ppm) and the instrument response (peak area, arbitrary units) are shown below. Also included is a sample spectrum. Equation 1 describes the response factor, K, relating the analyte signal (SA) and the standard signal (SIS) to their respective concentrations (CA and CIS).
