In replicate analyses, the carbohydrate content of a glycoprotein (a protein with sugars attached to it) is found to be 12.6, 11.9, 13.0, 12.7, and 12.5 g of carbohydrate per 100 g of protein. (a) Find the mean of the measurements. (b) Find the standard deviation (s). (c) Find the 90% confidence intervals for the carbohydrate content. (d) If the mean and s are unchanged, but there are 10 measurements (N=10) instead of 5, what would be the confidence interval? (e) How does increasing the number of replicate measurements affect the reliability of measurements? Explain your answer. (Hint: better precision gives smaller confidence intervals)
How many of the following should be included in a good hypothesis? (i) A prediction of the results of the experiment (ii) A step-by-step walkthrough of how to do the experiment with specific references to amounts of reactants, glassware used, and other experimental details (iii) A summation of the data collected after doing the experiment, with comments on accuracy and precision if possible. (iv) A detailed list of chemicals that will be used (v) Waste disposal procedures (vi) A brief scientific explanation of the predicted results. Said another way, the hypothesis should include a scientific explanation of why the predicted results are expected. 1 2 3 4 5

You determine the acetic acid (HOAc) content of vinegar by titrating with a sodium hydroxide standard solution to a phenolphthalein (an indicator) end point. An approximately 5-mL sample of vinegar is weighed on an analytical balance in a weighing boat and this is found to be 5.0268 g. The standard deviation in making a single weighing is 0.2 mg. The sodium hydroxide must be accurately standardised (this means its concentration must be accurately determined) by titrating known mass of high-purity potassium hydrogen phthalate, and three such titrations give molar concentrations of 0.1167, 0.1163 and 0.1164 mol L-1. A volume of 36.78 mL of sodium hydroxide is used to titrate each sample. The standard deviation of the burette used is 0.02 mL. Calculate the percentage of acetic acid in the vinegar and its standard deviation.
I am supposed to calculate Average absolute deviation (%). I am not sure if 7.16 is the final answer, or do i need to multiply by 100 because they are asking for percent?
Estimate the absolute standard 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. Show your solution and express the final answer and its corresponding uncertainty. a) y= 2.998(±0.002) - 3.98 (±0.15) + 9.035 (±0.002) = 8.0531 b) y= 39.2(±0.3) x 3.054 (±0.022) x 10^ -2 = 1.197 c) y= [198(±6) - 89 (±3)] / 1335 (±2) + 64 (±7)] = 7.791 x 10^-2
A volumetric calcium analysis on triplicate samples of the blood serum of a patient believed to be suffering from a hyperparathyroid condition produced the following data: mmol Ca/L = 3.55, 3.65, 3.14. What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean of the data, assuming(a) No prior information about the precision of the analysis?(b) s → σ = 0.056 mmol Ca/L?
A solution is prepared by weighing 5.0000 g of cesium iodide into a 100-mL volumetric flask. The balance used has a precision of 0.2 mg reported as a standard deviation, and the volumetric flask could be filled with a precision of 0.15mL also reported as a standard deviation. What is the estimated standard deviation of concentration (g/mL)?
A method for the determination of the corticosteroid methylprednisolone acetate in solutions obtained from pharmaceutical preparations yielded a mean value of 3.7 mg mL with a standard deviation of 0.3 mg mL. For quality control purposes, the relative uncertainty in the concentration should be no more than 3%. How many samples of each batch should be analyzed to ensure that the relative standard deviation does not exceed 9% at the 95% confidence level? samples
A titrimetric method for the determination of calcium in limestone was tested with the analysis of a NIST limestone containing 30.15% CaO. The mean of the four analyzes is 30.26% CaO with a standard deviation of 0.085%. From the data accumulated from many analyzes, s→ϭ=0.094% CaO was found.a) Do the data indicate the presence of systematic error at the 95% confidence level?b) When a value for ϭ is unknown, do the data show a systematic error at the 95% confidence level?

Dr. Caras was characterizing a cytochrome (an iron containing protein) from a new strain of bacteria. He obtained eight measurements of the percent iron in the protein: 0.3205%, 0.3202%, 0.3196%, 0.3198%, 0.3316%, 0.3197%, 0.3208%, and 0.3197%. Calculate the mean () and standard deviation (s) for these results. x = Use the Grubbs test to determine if one of these values is an outlier. What is the value of Gealeulated?
