A fast food franchise is test marketing 3 new menu items. To find out if they have the same popularity, 6 franchisee restaurants are randomly chosen for participation in the study. In accordance with the randomized block design, each restaurant will be test marketing all 3 new menu items. Furthermore, a restaurant will test market only one menu item per week, and it takes 3 weeks to test market all menu items. The testing order of the menu items for each restaurant is randomly assigned as well. The table represents the sales figures of the 3 new menu items in a restaurant after a week of test marketing.
Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD)
Following the in-class assignment this week, perform a complete RCBD analysis.
(2 p) Reshape and plot the data, describe relationships of Sales between Items and Restaurants
(0 p) Fit model
(3 p) Assess model assumptions
(2 p) State and interpret the hypothesis test for difference in Item mean sales
(2 p) If appropriate, perform pairwise comparisons with Tukey HSD correction
(1 p) What is your recommendation to the Franchise?
