Zusammenfassung:An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a method and apparatus for calculating at least one confidence interval. The method comprises activating a calculator. The calculator prompts the user to enter at least three pairs of calibration data. The user then specifies a reference for the calibration data. The calculator then generates a list of the calibration data. The calculator then calculates a linear calibration curve derived from the calibration data. The calculator then calculates a residual calibration value plot derived from the calibration data. The user enters an unknown sample output measurement. The calculator calculates a back-calculated unknown sample input measurement. The calculator lastly calculates a confidence interval for the back-calculated unknown sample input measurement.
