if unseeded, BOD = (D1-D2)/P
if seeded, BOD = ((D1-D2)-(B1-B2)f)/P
D1 = DO of diluted seeded wastewater
D2 = DO of wastewater after incubation
B1 = DO of diluted seed sample
B2 = DO of seed sample after incubation
f = ratio of seed volume in seeded wastewater test to seed volume in BOD test on seed
P = decimal fraction of wastewater sample used. (vol. of wastewater)/(vol. of dilution water plus wastewater)
Maybe that helps
It will be invaluable if (when) you need to calculate sample correlation coefficient, but otherwise, it has pretty much no value.
There are generally no standards for an absolute BOD5 value of drinking water. However, a sample with a BOD5 between 1 and 2 mg/L indicates a very clean water
The Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) of a sample is the amount of dissolved oxygen required by aerobic microorganisms to breakdown organic matter in the sample.The test is simple:Measure the Dissolved Oxygen content of the sample (a)Place in a sealed darkened bottleIncubate for 5 days at 20'CMeasure the Dissolved Oxygen content of the incubated sample (b)Generally you're using this test to analyse contaminated water, so you'll want to dilute it first - it may be that aren't enough aerobic microorganisms present to give you a measurable result, in which case you'll need to inoculate the sample with a suitable culture.The BOD of the sample = a - bBOD is expressed in mg O2/L of sample.Extra CreditGenerally you're using this test to analyse contaminated water, so you'll want to dilute it first - it may be that aren't enough aerobic microorganisms present to give you a measurable result, in which case you'll need to inoculate the sample with a suitable culture.The BOD of a diluted innoculated sample = ((a - b) - BOD of inoculated culture) * dilution factor

Solve for y; calculate a few sample points (plug in a value for x, then calculate the corresponding value for y); plot on the graph. Two points should be enough in theory (this equation is a straight line), but a third point helps you confirm that your calculations are correct.Solve for y; calculate a few sample points (plug in a value for x, then calculate the corresponding value for y); plot on the graph.

BOD is the oxygen necessary for living organisms in a sample of water for the degradation of organic compounds.
It is a value calculated from the sample values only.It is a value calculated from the sample values only.It is a value calculated from the sample values only.It is a value calculated from the sample values only.
in order to calculate the mean of the sample's mean and also to calculate the standard deviation of the sample's
No. To calculate a sample standard deviation one requires the sample values. The five-number summary provides only the lowest value, the highest, the median, and the upper and lower quartiles. In any sample of size greater than five some values will be missing from the summary.
1. dilution error 2.blame the test sample 3.poor maintenance of bottles(cleaning)
It means theres a high amount of variation between the results used to calculate the mean value for a particular sample or experiment
