The following are results of a protein standard curve assay for the presence of a protein. A standard protein of known concentration was added to each tube and the OD600 was measured on a spectrophotometer. Determine protein conc in unknown sample with a OD600 of 0.345.
| Protein Conc (ug/ul) | OD600 |
| 0 | 0.000 |
| 10 | 0.081 |
| 20 | 0.118 |
| 30 | 0.203 |
| 60 | 0.378 |
| 90 | 0.626 |
| 120 | 0.777 |
| 180 | 1.088 |
1) The most appropriate statistical test is Wilcoxon Sign rank test,since the sample is less than 30 we go for non parametric test for testing mean.
2) H0: OD600 ,
=
0.345
3) H1 : OD600 , 
0.345.
4)

Test Statistic: 56.5
5) Statistical Conclusion:
At 5% level of significance,we reject H0 ,since(p
value=0.01166 < 0.05).therefore,we conclude that protein conc in
unknown sample is not with a OD600 of 0.345. OD600 , 
0.345.
