Homework Assignment 7
Due in Week 8 and worth 30 points
The experiment data in below table
was to evaluate the effects of three variables on invoice errors for a company.
Invoice errors had been a major contributor to lengthening the time that
customers took to pay their invoices and increasing the accounts receivables
for a major chemical company. It was conjectured that the errors might be due
to the size of the customer (larger customers have more complex orders), the
customer location (foreign orders are more complicated), and the type of
product. A subset of the data is summarized in the following Table.
