A company that sells books online has three regional shipping centers. Each shipping center uses a different computer system to enter and process orders. The company wants to identify the most efficient computer system and to use that computer system at each shipping center. You can use this data to demonstrate Histogram, Scatterplot, Display Descriptive Statistics, and One-Way ANOVA, as in Chapters 2 and 3 of Getting Started for Minitab Statistical Software.
Teams at different shipping centers collect data on orders and arrivals.
