They collected a random sample and recorded TAT for reports of 4 laboratories. TAT is defined as sample collected to report dispatch. Analyze the data and determine whether there is any difference in average TAT among the different laboratories at 5% significance level.

Answer 1

Answer:

We, clinical biochemists sometimes overlook timeliness as an important attribute and instead concentrate on improving the analytical intricacies of sample processing. However, timeliness which is expressed as the turnaround time (TAT) is often used by the clinicians as the benchmark for laboratory performance

Abstract Turnaround time

Abstract. Turnaround time (TAT) is one of the most noticeable signs of laboratory service and is often used as a key performance indicator of laboratory performance.
