Chapter 07 Weekly Data Discussion Board Exercise – Hypothesis Testing on Purchase Order Lead Time

  1. Open the file and save your working file as a .xlsx file in another folder.
  2. Freeze the “top row” for convenience.
  3. Calculate the LeadTime in column K as Arrival Date minus Order Date; format the field as an integer.
  4. Create a pivot table to examine the average lead time by Supplier. Place pivot table output at cell N1. The question is: “does a significant difference exist between the lead time for Aluminum Sheeting and Durrable Products?”
  5. Sort the data by Supplier to allow for easier selection of lead time data.
  6. Use the Data Analysis toolkit to prepare a Two-Sample t-test, assuming unequal variances. Place your output at cell N14. Following the selection settings from page 263, Figure 7.10 for this test.
