A hotel wanted to develop a new system for delivering room service breakfasts. In the current system, an order form is left on the bed in each room. If the customer wishes to receive a room service breakfast, he or she places the order form on the doorknob before 11p.m. The current system requires customers to select a 15-minute interval for desired delivery time (6:30~6:45a.m., 6:45~7:00a.m., etc.). The new system is designed to allow the customer to request a specific delivery time. The hotel wants to measure the difference (in min.) between the actual delivery time and the requested delivery time of room service orders for breakfast (negative time means that the order was delivered before the requested time, whereas the positive time means that the order was delivered after the requested time). The factor included were the menu choice (American and Continental) and the desired time period in which the order was to be delivered (Early Time Period [6:30~8:00a.m.] or Late Time Period[8:00~9:30a.m.]). Ten orders for each combination of menu choice and desired time period were studied on a particular day, and the data were stored

Type Early Late
Continental 1.4 -2.0
Continental 1.8 3.1
Continental 3.3 -0.5
Continental 4.4 0.9
Continental 4.4 1.2
Continental 5.3 -0.1
Continental 2.2 -1.3
Continental 1.2 0.2
Continental 5.4 -0.5
Continental 1.4 3.8
American 4.4 6.0
American 1.1 2.3
American 4.8 4.2
American 8.4 3.8
American 6.7 5.8
American 5.6 1.8
American 9.5 5.1
American 5.1 4.2
American 7.6 4.9
American 9.3 4.2

(a) At the 0.05 level of significance, is there an interaction between type of breakfast and desired time?

(b) Draw the plot of means.

(c) At the 0.05 level of significance, is there an effect due to type of breakfast?

(d) At the 0.05 level of significance, is there an effect due to desired time?

Class, I would like to pose an ethical dilemma to you all. There is not necessarily a "right" or "wrong" answer. I am just curious on your thoughts. You’re at a hotel and conference center. You’ve arrived to your meeting early, and have not have a chance to eat breakfast yet.
