B. REPRODUCIBILITY<br />
Customer Standard Deviation, 1sc & 95 Percent<br />
Confidence Estimate (not including bias)<br />
Reproducibility or customer standard deviation (1sc ) is an<br />
estimate of the variability a customer could expect when<br />
submitting a sample to any Photoprocessing Quality<br />
Services laboratory, where any trained analyst could test the<br />
sample using any instrument on any day.<br />
The 95 percent confidence estimate (calculated using the<br />
customer standard deviation) around a single test result will<br />
include the mean value 95 percent of the time.<br />
Four analysts analyzed four fixing bath samples, on two<br />
different days. Duplicate analyses were performed on each<br />
sample, on each of the two days. These samples were:<br />
1. A “fresh” fixing tank prepared with all components at<br />
their respective “working tank” aim concentrations.<br />
2. The same “fresh” fixing tank sample as in 1 above,<br />
analyzed in the same manner, after making a standard<br />
addition of 1.0745 g/L Ag.<br />
3. A “seasoned” tank solution analyzed as received as<br />
1.0488 g/L Ag.<br />
4. The same “seasoned” solution, as in number 3, above,<br />
analyzed in the same manner, after making a standard<br />
addition of 0.2686 g/L Ag.<br />

Bias<br />
Bias is a statistically significant deviation of the mean from<br />
the known mix level at a 95 percent confidence level. It is<br />
determined for fresh samples only. Bias was not determined<br />
for this sample because the component concentration level<br />
was not determined independently of the test method.<br />
Instead, a recovery was calculated for the component in a<br />
fresh sample. Statistically, the recovery of 99.55 percent was<br />
not significantly different from 100 percent at the 95 percent<br />
confidence level.<br />
Recovery<br />
Recovery is used for seasoned samples, since the component<br />
concentration level was not determined independently of the<br />
test method. It is defined as the calculated mean for the<br />
seasoned sample with a standard addition of the component<br />
minus the mean for the seasoned sample, divided by the<br />
actual amount of the standard addition. It is expressed as a<br />
percentage. The recovery of 102.07 percent* was not<br />
statistically significantly different from 100 percent at the<br />
95 percent confidence level.<br />
* Note: Recovery was calculated by accounting for a<br />
5 percent error from dilution of 2 liters of seasoned fixer by<br />
a 100.00 mL aliquot of silver nitrate.<br />
