AMT MLS General laboratory Study with
correct answers already passed
Linearity - correct answer ✔✔relationship between final analytical result for a measurement and the
concentration of the analyte being measured.
Accuracy - correct answer ✔✔how close a measurement is to the true value
Precision - correct answer ✔✔a measure of how close a series of measurements are to one another
Reliability - correct answer ✔✔consistency of measurement
coefficient of variation - correct answer ✔✔Standard deviation/ mean
Skewness - correct answer ✔✔a measure of the degree to which a distribution is asymmetrical
shift - correct answer ✔✔A _____ is a sudden change of values from one level of the control chart to
another. A common cause of a shift is failure to recalibrate when changing lot numbers of reagents
during an analytical run.
trend - correct answer ✔✔A _____ is a continuous movement of values in one direction over six or more
analytical runs.
Pre & Postanalytical - correct answer ✔✔
confidence limits - correct answer ✔✔The lower and upper scores defining the confidence interval
normal distribution - correct answer ✔✔a bell-shaped curve, describing the spread of a characteristic
throughout a population
