An amusement park studied methods for decreasing the waiting
time (minutes) for rides by loading and unloading riders more
efficiently. Two alternative loading/unloading methods have been
proposed. To account for potential differences due to the type of
ride and the possible interaction between the method of loading and
unloading and the type of ride, a factorial experiment was
designed. Use the following data to test for any significant effect
due to the loading and unloading method, the type of ride, and
interaction. Use = .05. Factor A is method of loading
and unloading; Factor B is the type of ride.
