The formula for the standard deviation is:SD=\u2211(xi\u2212x\u02c9)2n\u22121SD = \\sqrt{\\frac{\\sum (x_i &#8211; \\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}SD=n\u22121\u2211(xi\u200b\u2212x\u02c9)2\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>xix_ixi\u200b are the individual data points,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>x\u02c9\\bar{x}x\u02c9 is the average of the data points,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>nnn is the number of samples.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>x1=8.96x_1 = 8.96&#215;1\u200b=8.96<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>x2=9.24x_2 = 9.24&#215;2\u200b=9.24<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>x3=9.01x_3 = 9.01&#215;3\u200b=9.01<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>x4=8.73x_4 = 8.73&#215;4\u200b=8.73<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And the average x\u02c9=8.985\\bar{x} = 8.985x\u02c9=8.985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, calculate the squared differences between each sample and the average:(8.96\u22128.985)2=(\u22120.025)2=0.000625(8.96 &#8211; 8.985)^2 = (-0.025)^2 = 0.000625(8.96\u22128.985)2=(\u22120.025)2=0.000625(9.24\u22128.985)2=(0.255)2=0.065025(9.24 &#8211; 8.985)^2 = (0.255)^2 = 0.065025(9.24\u22128.985)2=(0.255)2=0.065025(9.01\u22128.985)2=(0.025)2=0.000625(9.01 &#8211; 8.985)^2 = (0.025)^2 = 0.000625(9.01\u22128.985)2=(0.025)2=0.000625(8.73\u22128.985)2=(\u22120.255)2=0.065025(8.73 &#8211; 8.985)^2 = (-0.255)^2 = 0.065025(8.73\u22128.985)2=(\u22120.255)2=0.065025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, sum these squared differences:Sum&nbsp;of&nbsp;squared&nbsp;differences=0.000625+0.065025+0.000625+0.065025=0.1313\\text{Sum of squared differences} = 0.000625 + 0.065025 + 0.000625 + 0.065025 = 0.1313Sum&nbsp;of&nbsp;squared&nbsp;differences=0.000625+0.065025+0.000625+0.065025=0.1313<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, divide by n\u22121=4\u22121=3n &#8211; 1 = 4 &#8211; 1 = 3n\u22121=4\u22121=3:0.13133=0.04377\\frac{0.1313}{3} = 0.0437730.1313\u200b=0.04377<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, take the square root to find the standard deviation:SD=0.04377=0.2093SD = \\sqrt{0.04377} = 0.2093SD=0.04377\u200b=0.2093<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the standard deviation of the fluorescence intensities is approximately 0.2093.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Average Concentration and Standard Deviation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Assuming a linear relationship between fluorescence intensity and concentration (often the case in fluorescence-based assays), the average concentration and standard deviation of NADH can be estimated by converting the average intensity and standard deviation into concentrations. If a calibration curve or factor relating fluorescence intensity to concentration is provided, we would use that to convert the values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since no direct conversion factor is provided in your problem, we can assume that the average fluorescence intensity and standard deviation directly represent the average and variability of NADH concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the average concentration of NADH in the unknown samples is approximately 8.985, and the standard deviation is 0.2093.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner6-79.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-250032\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>four unknown samples exhibit relative florescence intensities 8.96, 9.24 9.01, and 8.73. determine the average concentration and standard deviation of NADH in the unknown.
