A laboratory staff member is interested in evaluating a new technology (Optode) for measuring potassium in serum. The technologist performs a split sample study by measuring potassium using their current method, ISE, and the new method

Determine the slope and intercept using a linear regression by least-squares analysis. Also calculate the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. Which of the following responses reflects the correct values for each calculated parameter? Sample # Potassium (ISE) reference method (meq/L) - x-axis Potassium (Optode) new method (meq/L) - y-axis 1 4.5 4.7 2 2.4 2.7 3 7.4 7.6 4 10.1 10.2 5 6.1 6.2 6 12.4 12.3 7 6.1 6.2 8 10.0 10.2 9 7.2 7.1 10 8.1 8.2 11 3.6 3.8 12 8.4 8.4 13 4.4 4.7 14 8.6 8.7 15 8.1 8.4 16 11.3 11.4 17 8.3 8.2 18 9.0 9.2 19 5.8 6.0 20 3.5 3.7 21 3.0 3.1 22 4.0 4.0 23 4.5 4.6 24 2.5 3.0 25 7.0 7.0 A) Slope: 1.02, intercept: -0.283, correlation coefficient: 0.998 B) Slope: 0.976, intercept: 0.290, correlation coefficient: 0.998 C) Slope: 0.976, intercept: -0.283, correlation coefficient: 0.998 D) Slope: 1.02, intercept: 0.290, correlation coefficient: 0.998
