Answer:
The overall standard deviation, s = 6.46 %
Given:
Sampling variance, [tex]s_{b} = \pm 6.0% = 0.06[/tex]
Analytical variance, [tex]s_{a} = \pm 2.4% = 0.024[/tex]
Solution:
Variance additive is given by:
[tex]s^{2} = s_{a}^{2} + s_{b}^{2}[/tex] (1)
where
s = overall variance
Also, we know that:
Standard Deviation, [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{variance}[/tex]
Therefore the standard deviation of the sampling, analytical and overall sampling is given by taking the square root of eqn (1) on both the sides:
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_{a}^{2} + s_{b}^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{0.024^{2} + 0.06^{2}} = 0.0646[/tex]
s = 6.46 %
