Completion of three activities is required to accomplish a job. The administrator would liketo know if differences in the arrangement of the three activities results in different jobaccomplishment times. He selects three workers and demonstrates the activities in random orderto them. Then each worker accomplishes the job with each of the activity arrangements. Thecompletion times are recorded. The following table shows the minutes for each worker toaccomplish each job.
