The data in the table are used to create a calibration curve for
the determination of RNA from its absorbance
at 260 nm.
Use a spreadsheet and the least-squares method to determine the
slope and š‘¦y-intercept of the best straight line fit to the
calibration curve. Do not subtract the blank reading when creating
the calibration curve.

Using the slope and intercept of the calibration curve,
determine the quantity of RNA in a sample that gives an absorbance
of 0.5950.595.
