Objectives
- Perform error analysis on the compiled data calibration curve.
- Determine the standard deviation for the data points.
- Determine the confidence interval for 90% and 95% confidence.
- Determine if any data can be ruled out using a Q-test.
- Determine the molar extinction coefficient for both adenosine and inosine.
- Determine the concentration of an unknown adenosine sample(taken from Javier's group).
- Perform Grubb's test on outlying peak of adenosine molar extinction coefficent graph.
- Perform data analysis on molar extinction coefficient graphs(both adenosine and inosine).
Group calibration curve data

- The Grubb's test will be employed to determine whether the points that lie outside of the line of best fit are outliers
