Q

Type of error that causes the data to be more scattered more or less symetrically around the mean. It is inherent to any type of analysis.

A

Random (indeterminate) error

20
Q

Type of error that causes mean of a set of data to differ from the accepted value. May lead to bias in measurement results

A

Systematic (determinate)

21
Q

These errors are often large, and may cause a result to be either high or low. This often leads to outliers

A

Blunder (gross error)

22
Q

Type of systematic error that is caused by non-ideal instrumental behavior

A

Instrumental error

23
Q

Type of systematic error that arises from non-ideal chemical or physical behavior of analytical system

A

Method error

24
Q

Type of systematic error that arises from the system itself, hence, the most difficult to deal with.

A

Personal errors

25
Q

Test for outliers in place of the Q-test

A

Grubbs test

26
Q

A simple, widely used statistical test for deciding whether a suspected result should be retained or rejected

A

Dixon’s Q-test

27
Q

Refers to the range of values within which the true mean is expected to lie with a certain probability

A

Confidence interval

28
Q

Boundaries of confidence level

A

Confidence Limits

29
Q

Probability that the true mean lies within the certain interval

A

Confidence level

30
Q

Probability that the result is outside the confidence interval

A

Significance level

31
Q

The smallest concentration or absolute amount of analyte that has a signal significantly larger than the signal from a suitable blank

A

Detection limit

32
Q

Ability to report the analyte with confidence in it’s concentration.

A

Limit of quantitation

33
Q

Done by the use of standards that can be prepared from purified reagents or standardized by classical quantitative methods

A

Calibration

34
Q

These are solutions containing known amounts of analyte are prepared separately from the samples. A calibration technique that can analyze series of samples using one calibration curve.

A

External standards

35
Q

Plot of the instrument response versus known analyte concentration

A

Calibration or standard curve

36
Q

These are used to create raw instrument responses

A

Blank

37
Q

There are two types of blanks. A ____ contains the same solvent in which the sample is dissolved, while ____ contains the solvent plus all the reagents used in sample preparation.

A

Solvent blank, reagent blank

38
Q

It refers to the reference species different to the analyte, but is chemically and physically similar to analyte. It is added to all samples and standards containing the analyte.

A

Internal standard.

39
Q

In this type of calibration technique, a known amount of a standard solution of the analyte is added to one portion of the sample. Can be performed with or without dilution

A

Single standard addition

40
Q

T-test performed to compare the mean values of the large population and the small sample take from the population

A

One-sample t-test

41
Q

T-test performed to compare the mean values of two independent samples.

A

Two-sample t-test

42
Q

T-test performed to compare the mean values of two independent samples.

A

Two-sample t-test

43
Q

T-test used to compare the mean values of samples taken at two different times.

A

Paired sample t-test

44
Q

It determines the relationship between the analytical response (signal) and the analyte concentration.

A

Standardization

45
Q

Single point standardization leads to determinate errors. Therefore multiple point standardization should be done, which must include _____ standards.

A

At least three

46
Q

To improve the reliability and to obtain information about the variability of the results _____ is carried out through an analytical procedure in exactly the same way.

A

Replicates

47
Q

To improve the reliability and to obtain information about the variability of the results _____ is carried out through an analytical procedure in exactly the same way.
