In Table II, the standard deviation is proportional to the average and the %RSD is unchanged. Good documentation requires reporting the sample size, average, and standard deviation with the %RSD. The %RSD is misleading when used with data that are expressed as a percentage such as percent recovery. The standard deviation of the data is already in percent. To then find the %RSD is to make the results dependent on the random variation of the average. This defeats the original purpose of estimating the variation of the data values.
Interoperability (pronounced IHN-tuhr-AHP-uhr-uh-BIHL-ih-tee) is the ability of a system or a product to work with other systems or products without special effort on the part of the customer.
Manageability functions operate in two modes: in-band and out-of-band. In-band manageability is a scope of operation in the context of, with awareness by, and with dependence on the main OS used for the systemâs primary mission. That is, manageability operates in the âfully onâ system state. Out-of-band manageability is a scope of operation independent of the main OS and other components used for the systemâs primary mission. Out-of-band manageability can therefore operate in a variety of system states, including low-power states.
