An environmental scientist developed a new analytical method for the determination of cadmium (cd^2+) in mussels. To validate th

e method, the researcher measured the Cd^2+ concentration in standard reference material (SRM) 2976 that is known to contain 0.82 plusminus 0.16 ppm Cd^2+. Five replicate measurements of the SRM were obtained using the new method, giving values of 0.782, 0.762, 0.825, 0.838, and 0.761 ppm Cd^2+. Calculate the mean (Bar x), standard deviation (s_x), and the 95% confidence interval for this data set. At list of t values can be found in the student's t table. X Bar = s_x = 95% confidence interval = x Bar plusminus Does the new method give a result that differs from the known result of the SRM at the 95% confidence level?

Answer:

The method is accurate  in the calculation of the Cu^+2

Explanation:

As a first step we have to calculate the <u>average concentration </u>of Cu^+2 find it by the method.

\frac{0.782+0.762+0.825+0.838+0.761 }{5} =0.79 ppm

Then we have to find the<u> standard deviation:</u>

s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N-1}\sum_{i=1}^N(x_i-\bar{x})^2}=0.0359

For the confidence interval we have to use the formula:

μ=Average±\frac{t*s}{\sqrt{n} }

Where:

t=t student constant with 95 % of confidence and 5 data=2.78

μ= 0.79  ±  \frac{2.78*0.0359}{\sqrt{5} }

upper limit:  0.84

lower limit: 0.75

If we compare the limits of the value obtanied by the method (Figure 1 Red line) with the reference material (Figure 1 blue line) we can see that the values obtained by the method are within the values suggested by the reference material. So, it's method is accurate.

When is an isotope considered stable?<br> (Select all that apply.)
GaryK [48]

Explanation:

A stable isotope is one that does not emit radiation, or, if it does its half-life is too long to have been measured. It is believed that the stability of the nucleus of an isotope is determined by the ratio of neutrons to protons.
