  "definition": "1. Critical Value (Lc) Smallest measured amount or concentration of analyte in a sample that gives rise to a Type I error tolerance of alpha under the null hypothesis that the true amount or concentration of analyte in the sample is equal to that of a blank. (The alternative hypothesis is that the true amount or concentration of analyte is greater than that of a blank.)\n\n2. Critical Value (Lc) - The minimum observed result such that the lower 100 (1-α)% confidence limit on the result is greater than the mean of the method blanks.",
