A researcher wants to examine the production capability of three manufacturing plants that utilize different production methods of the same part in order to select a plant as a supplier for a company.

A researcher wants to examine the production capability of three manufacturing plants that utilize different production methods of the same part in order to select a plant as a supplier for a company. The effectiveness of each plant will be measured in the number of parts it can produce in an hour. Representative hourly production amounts are recorded from each plant over a period of 12 hours and provided to the researcher.

The results of each of the three plants are as follows:

Plant A	Plant B	Plant C
131	141	108
111	165	185
165	174	190
188	185	206
175	172	175
173	188	197
188	145	186
186	177	221
145	162	214
132	151	211
128	147	214
123	133	208

Use the five-step hypothesis testing process. Perform a complete analysis and interpretation of the results. If appropriate, use diagrams or graphs. Ensure your answer is detailed in all aspects. Be sure to comment on the assumptions of the ANOVA and if there are any violations. Which manufacturing plant, if any, would you recommend as the supplier? Why?

1) A book manufacturing company has two different production plants, plant A and plant B. 40% of books come from plant A. Of the books that come from plant A 30% are defective and 70% work as intended. Of the books from plant B 10% are defective and 90% work as intended. On top of this 10% of the defective books from plant A explode. A) Draw a tree diagram of this data. B) What is the probability of randomly...
