The concentrations of K* in water were measured with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES). Four water samples obtained at different cities were used, and each sample was measured one time. The measurements are shown in the table below: Tulare 8.9 ppm 7.0 ppm What is the calculated t-value (tcalculated) for the statistical comparison of these two methods?

Before determining the amount of Na2CO3 in an unknown sample, a student decides to check her procedure by analyzing a sample known to contain 98.76% w/w Na2CO3. Five replicate determinations of the %w/w Na2CO3 in the standard were made with the following results 98.71% 98.59% 98.62% 98.44% 98.58% Is the mean for these five trials significantly different from the accepted value at the 95% confidence level (α = 0.05)
Here is a use objective for a chemical analysis to be performed at a drinking water purification plant: “Data and results collected quarterly shall be used to determine whether the concentrations of haloacetates in the treated water demonstrate compliance with the levels set by the Stage 1 Disinfection By-products Rule using Method 552.2” (a specification that sets precision, accuracy, and other requirements). Which one of the following questions best summarizes the meaning of the use objective?(i) Are haloacetate concentrations known within specified precision and accuracy?(ii) Are any haloacetates detectable in the water?(iii) Do any haloacetate concentrations exceed the regulatory limit?

Spike recovery and detection limit. Species of arsenic found in drinking water include AsO32 3 (arsenite), AsO32 4 (arsenate), (CH3)2AsO2 2 (dimethylarsinate), and (CH3)AsO22 3 (methylarsonate). Pure water containing no arsenic was spiked with 0.40 mg arsenate/L. Seven replicate determinations gave 0.39, 0.40, 0.38, 0.41, 0.36, 0.35, and 0.39 mg/L.15 Find the mean percent recovery of the spike and the concentration detection limit (mg/L).

In quality management, it is very important that you have a good background knowledge in both descriptive and inferential statistics. Since you already took up Biostatistics and Epidemiology during your Second Year, answer BRIEFLY the following questions on basic statistics: 1. Compare and contrast the three most common measures of central tendency mean, median and mode. 2. Differentiate standard deviation from coefficient of variation. 3. What is T-test?
A second spectrophotometric method for the quantitative analysis of Pb2+ in blood yields an Ssamp of 0.712 for a 5.00 mL sample of blood. After spiking the blood sample with 5.00 μL of a 1560 ppb Pb2+ external standard, an Sspike of 1.546 is measured. What is the concentration of Pb2+ in the original sample of blood?
