A method for the determination of boric acid in a solution for the production of eye drops gave 3.0 ± 0.17 mg mL-1 boric acid. From this information it follows that this is the number of samples that need to be anlyzed to ensure 4% RSD.
6 samples
8 samples
10 samples
None of the above
3 0.17
RSD=. = 4
4= / 3 *100
= 0.12
margin of error = Z *
for 99.99% Z = 3.891
so we have
= 0.46692/0.17
= 2.746589
n = 7.54
so n = 8 i.e. 8 samples Answer
