An amusement park studied methods for decreasing the waitingtime (minutes) for rides by loading and unloading riders moreefficiently. Two alternative loading/unloading methods have beenproposed. To account for potential differences due to the type ofride and the possible interaction between the method of loading andunloading and the type of ride, a factorial experiment wasdesigned. Use the following data to test for any significant effectdue to the loading and unloading method, the type of ride, andinteraction. Use . Factor A is method of loading and unloading;Factor B is the type of ride.
| Type ofRide |
| RollerCoaster | ScreamingDemon | Long Flume |
| Method 1 | 46 | 54 | 50 |
| 48 | 46 | 46 |
| Method 2 | 45 | 54 | 48 |
| 47 | 50 | 44 |
Set up the ANOVA table (to whole number, but -value to 2decimals and  value to 1 decimal, if necessary).

What is your conclusion with respect to Factor B?
- Select your answer -Factor B is significantFactor B is notsignificantItem 24
The -value for the interaction of factors A and B is - Selectyour answer -less than .01between .01 and .025between .025 and.05between .05 and .10greater than .10Item 25
What is your conclusion with respect to the interaction ofFactors A and B?
- Select your answer -The interaction of factors A and B issignificantThe interaction of factors A and B is notsignificantItem 26
What is your recommendation to the amusement park?
- Select your answer -Use method 1; it has a lower sample meanwaiting time and is the best methodWithhold judgment; take a largersample before making a final decisionSince method is not asignificant factor, use either loading and unloading methodItem27
