Statistical Data Analysis
Project detail
A manufacturing firm currently receives supplies of raw materials from Supplier A. They have
recently been approached by Supplier B, so the firm will
continue to use Supplier A unless they have significant evidence that the mean delivery time for
Supplier B is lower.
The SAS data set Delivery.sas7bdat contains data relating to a representative sample of 80
deliveries, 50 by supplier A and 30 by Supplier B.
Obtain the sample mean and standard deviation of the delivery time for each supplier, and
briefly interpret your findings.
It is planned to conduct a statistical test to compare the mean delivery times of the two
suppliers. What distributional assumptions regarding the populations underlying the data must
be made in order for a parametric statistical test to be valid? Investigate the tenability of these
assumptions via appropriate data plots.
This is part of the requirements. Entire requirement will be disclosed on chat. Please apply to discuss more
