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. For each location, calculate the standard deviation and report it with two significant figures. What is the calculated F value for comparing the standard deviations? Are the standard deviations for the two locations significantly different at the 95% confidence level? ample Location 1 (% C) Location 2 (% C) 1 10.40 10.10 2 10.30 10.90 3 10.30 10.20 4 10.40 10.70 5 10.30 10.30
A variation of the indicator-dilution method (see preceding problem) is used to measure total blood volume. A known amount of a tracer is injected into the bloodstream and disperses uniformly throughout the circulatory system. A blood sample is then withdrawn, the tracer concentration in the sample is measured, and the measured concentration [which equals (tracer injected)/(total blood volume) if no tracer is lost through blood vessel walls] is used to determine the total blood volume.In one such experiment, 0.60 cm3 of a solution containing 5.00 mg/L of a dye is injected into an artery of a grown man. About 10 minutes later, after the tracer has had time to distribute itself uniformly throughout the bloodstream, a blood sample is withdrawn and placed in the sample chamber of a spectrophotometer. A beam of light passes through the chamber, and the spectrophotometer measures the intensity of the transmitted beam and displays the value of the solution absorbance (a quantity that…
A method to determine an antibiotic was developed and validated in a pharmaceutical company. The method allows analysis of 100 mg tablets containing 7.5 mg of the antibiotic. According to the validation data, the confidence limits are 7.50 mg± 0.04mg. How many samples will need to be analyzed for an analyst to ensure that the content of the antibiotic in a macerated sample of that drug is 7.50 mg ± 0.03 mg with 95% reliability when analyzing 100 mg of the macerated sample?
An excess of 0.34 mg Pb is obtained from an assay test determined in an analysis. What is the percent relative error in ppt if the mass of the sample is 550 g?
A chemical industry discharges a waste contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) to the city sewer system. By law, the concentration of TCE must be 1 mg/L or less. To enforce this law, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) conducts random testing. The chief environmental engineer for the chemical company knows that the mean TCE concentration in the waste is 0.064 mg/L, and the standard deviation is 0.022 mg/L. The TCE concentration can be assumed to be a normal random variable. What is the probability that the company will fail a random test by the DEC? [In other words, the probability that a random sample will have TCE > 0.1 mg/L.] Show your work and draw a labeled sketch to show what area of the normal distribution curve you used to solve the problem. What is the probability that the company will fail two consecutive random tests? The tests can be assumed to be independent of each other. Show your work. Determine the concentration of TCE that is exceeded only 10%…
