Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with measuring the concentration of a pollutant found at 0.2 mg/L. If the detection limit of your instrument is 0.1 mg/L, what sample volume should you collect to ensure reliable measurement?
💡 Hint: Consider how sample volume relates to expected concentration.
If you take water samples at three different locations and get values of 10, 12, and 14 mg/L for a pollutant, how would you assess precision and accuracy? Provide a recommendation for improvement.
💡 Hint: Think about both the statistical and practical approaches for improvement.
