Random Heterogeneous
divide the material into segments and use a table of random numbers to then collect random segments of the material
Formulating the question
general questions to specific questions to be answered through chem.measurements
selecting analytical procedures
find or create appropriate procedures to make required measurements
sampling
selecting representative material to analyze
sample preparation
converting a sample into a form suitable for analysis
analysis
measuring the concentration of analyte in several identical aliquots
reporting and interpreting
deliver a clearly written complete report of your results
drawing conclusions
analyst not involved with is done with info
segregated heterogeneous
Take a representative amount from each region of the material that has distinctly different compositions
