    This document contains instructions for 4 statistical analysis assignments: 1. Calculate various statistical metrics like mean, median, range, and standard deviation for 4 sets of replicate measurements. 2. Apply the Q-test to 2 sets of data to determine if any values are outliers and should be rejected. 3. Derive the linear relationship between sulfate concentration and turbidity readings from a calibration and use it to determine concentration from a given reading. 4. Estimate the absolute deviation and uncertainty for results of calculations using absolute standard deviations of input values.

    Assignment in Statistical Evaluation of Data

    1. Consider the following sets of replicate measurements:

    B C E F
    69.94 0.0902 69.65 0.624
    69.92 0.0884 69.63 0.613
    69.80 0.0886 69.64 0.596
    69.88 0.1000 69.21 0.607
    69.84 0.0935 69.45 0.582

    For each set, calculate the (Observe rules on significant figures)


    a.) mean,
    b.) median,
    c.) range,
    d.) standard deviation,
    e.) coefficient of variation,
    f.) standard deviation of the mean
    g.) 95% confidence limit of finding the value for µ

    Table 2. Values of t for Various Levels of Probability


    Degrees of Factor for Confidence Interval
    Freedom 80 % 90% 95 % 99% 99.9%
    1 3.08 6.31 12.7 63.7 637
    2 1.89 2.92 4.30 9.92 31.60
    3 1.64 2.35 3.18 5.84 12.90
    4 1.53 2.13 2.78 4.60 8.60
    5 1.48 2.02 2.57 4.03 6.86
    6 1.44 1.94 2.45 3.71 5.96
    7 1.42 1.90 2.36 3.50 5.40
    8 1.40 1.86 2.31 3.36 5.04
    9 1.38 1.83 2.26 3.25 4.78

    2. Apply Q-test to the following set of data and determine whether the outlying result is
    retained or rejected.
    a.) 7.295, 7.284, 7.388, 7.292
    b.) 85.10, 84.62, 84.70, 84.65

    Number of Qcritical ( Xq is rejected if: Qexp ≥ Qcritical )


    Observations 90 % 95 % 99 %
    3 0.941 0.970 0.994
    4 0.765 0.829 0.926
    5 0.642 0.710 0.821
    6 0.560 0.625 0.740
    7 0.507 0.568 0.680
    3. The sulfate ion concentration in natural water can be determined by measuring the turbidity
    that results when an excess of BaCl 2 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:
    Cx , mg SO42– /L Turbiditimeter reading, Y
    0.00 0.06
    5.00 1.48
    10.00 2.28
    15.00 3.98
    20.00 4.61

    Assume that a linear relationship exists between the instrument reading and concentration.
    a) Derive an equation of a line that tells us the relationship of C x and Y.
    b) What is the concentration of sulfate when the turbiditimeter reading was 3.67?

    4. Estimate the absolute deviation(or uncertainty) for the results of the following
    calculations. Round each result so that it contains only significant digits. The numbers in
    parentheses are absolute standard deviations. Finally, write the answer and its uncertainty.
    a) Y= 6.75 (± 0.03) + 0.843(±0.001) - 5.021 (±0.001) = 2.572
    b) Y= 19.97(± 0.04) + 0.0030(±0.0001) + 4.29(±0.08) = 24.263
    c) Y= 143(± 6) - 64(±3) = 5.9578 x10-2
    1249 (±1) +77 (±8)
