A client is paying you $740.50/oz of Pt to weigh out 1000 Pt samples. The contract between you and the client states that the weight of Pt for each sample is defined to be:
(Weight of the sample.) - (The average noise in the measurement.) - 2 x (The standard deviation in the noise of the measurement.)
āIf the signal-to-noise of the measurement could be increased to 25000, estimate how much more money would you make on the contract?ā
Assume your starting signal to noise is 300. Assume the same signal as in question 2. Assume all the Pt samples will have a similar weight. Both questions 1 and 2 are pasted below for your reference.
Do not use scientific notation. 1 oz. = 28.3595 g Use all figures. Do not use units or dollar signs.
Question 2: If the average noise for the previous question (see below) was 0.506 g, what would the signal-to-noise be? Do not use scientific notation. Signal-to-noise is unitless. Answer: 310.04
Question 1: A sample of Pt is weighed 5 times with the following results:
50.121 g 50.289 g 50.003 g 50.241 g 49.910 g
What is the signal-to-noise ratio? Do not use scientific notation. Signal-to-noise is unitless. Answer: 313.21
