Statistical Analysis of Sample Sets

This document contains instructions for three problems: 1) Calculate statistics like mean, median, range for sets of replicate samples A, B, and D. 2) Apply a Q-test to sets b and c to determine if any values should be rejected at the 95% probability level. 3) Derive the linear equation relationship between sulfate concentration (Cx) and turbidimeter readings (R) using calibration data. Use the equation to calculate the sulfate concentration for a turbidimeter reading of 3.67.

1. Consider the following sets of replicate samples.
A B C D
69.94 0.0902 2.3 0.624
69.92 0.0884 2.6 0.613
69.80 0.0886 2.2 0.596
69.88 0.1000 2.4 0.607
69.84 0.0935 2.9 0.582
For each set A,B, & D calculate the:
a. mean,
b. median,
c. range,
d. sample standard deviation,
e. coefficient of variation,
f. standard deviation of the mean
g. 95% probability level of finding the value for µ or
(95 % confidence interval for µ )
(Observe rules on significant figures)
Problems
2. Apply Q-test to the set b & c and determine whether the outlying result is
retained or rejected at 95% probability level. What is the reported value after
applying Q-Test?
• a) 41.27, 41.71, 41.84, 41.78
• b)7.290, 7.284, 7.388, 7.292
• c) 85.10, 84.72, 84.70, 84.68
Problems
3. The sulfate ion concentration in natural water can be
determined by measuring the turbidity that results when an
excess of BaCl2 is added to a measured quantity of the sample. A
turbiditimeter, the instrument used for this analysis, was
calibrated with a series of standard Na2SO4 solutions. The
following data were obtained for the calibration:
Assume that a linear relationship exists Cx , mg SO42– Turbiditimeter
between the instrument reading and /L reading, R
concentration. 0.00 0.06
a. Derive an equation of a line that
tells us the relationship of Cx and
5.00 1.48
R. 10.00 2.28
b. What is the concentration of 15.00 3.98
sulfate when the turbiditimeter 20.00 4.61
reading was 3.67?
