Table 3.
Transitional probabilities for repeated water sampling rounds, based on water lead categories of the prior sample.
| Scenario | WLL category on roundn | Probability of WLL categories on Roundn+1 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-detect | Detectable, no spike | Spike | Total | ||
| Higher probability of upward transition | Non-detect | 0.75 | 0.20 | 0.05 | 1.0 |
| Detect but <15 µg/L | 0.10 | 0.65 | 0.25 | 1.0 | |
| ≥15 µg/L | 0.05 | 0.70 | 0.25 | 1.0 | |
| Mid-range probability of upward transition | Non-detect | 0.80 | 0.19 | 0.01 | 1.0 |
| Detect but <15 µg/L | 0.30 | 0.65 | 0.05 | 1.0 | |
| ≥15 µg/L | 0.15 | 0.80 | 0.05 | 1.0 | |
| Lower probability of upward transition | Non-detect | 0.90 | 0.095 | 0.005 | 1.0 |
| Detect but <15 µg/L | 0.30 | 0.69 | 0.01 | 1.0 | |
| ≥15 µg/L | 0.15 | 0.825 | 0.025 | 1.0 | |
