Considerations were conducted in connection with incorrect way of statistical calculations of experimental data with the pH index as well as with the improper interpretation of results with the pH index in numerous scientific publications which were published in different serious and well-known scientific publishing houses. Statistical analysis of experimental data can be done when the values of the data are expressed in the units of the uniform scale.

PL

Rozważania były prowadzone w związku z niepoprawnym sposobem obliczeń statystycznych danych doświadczalnych ze wskaźnikiem pH, jak również z niewłaściwą interpretacją wyników badań ze wskaźnikiem pH w licznych naukowych publikacjach, które były opublikowane w wielu poważnych i dobrze znanych wydawnictwach naukowych. Analiza statystyczna danych doświadczalnych może zostać zrobiona, gdy wartości danych są wyrażone w jednostkach skali jednolitej.
