Repeatability Standard Deviation, 1sr and

95 Percent Confidence Estimate

Repeatability standard deviation is an estimate of the variability one trained analyst should be able to obtain under favorable conditions (analyzing a sample, with one instrument, within one day).

Bias

Bias is a statistically significant deviation of the mean from the known mix level at a 95 percent confidence level. It is determined for “fresh” samples only. Bias is not determined for “seasoned” samples, since the component concentration level was not determined independently of the test method.

Statistically significant biases were found for hypo index, thiosulfate, and sodium sulfite (see the table below) for a “fresh” tank Process ECN-2 Fixer sample. However, the individual biases for hypo index, thiosulfate, or sodium sulfite were judged not to be practically significant.
