- Which type of fast-food chain fills orders most accurately at the drive-thru window? The Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) magazine drive-thru study visits restaurants in the largest fast-food chains in all 50 states. Visits occurred throughout the day, starting at 11:00 A.M and ending at 2:30 A.M. During each visit, the researcher ordered a main item, a side item, and a drink and made a minor special request such as a beverage with no ice. After receiving the order, all food and drink items were checked for complete accuracy. Any food or drink item received that was not exactly as ordered resulted in the order being classified as inaccurate. Also included in the measurement of accuracy were condiments asked for, napkins, straws, and correct change. Any errors in these resulted in the order being classified as innacurate. In 2015, the ethnic category including Del Taco, El Pollo Loco, Fazoli's, Panda Express, Taco Bell, and Taco John's had the fewest inaccuracies, with only 42 of 457…arrow_forwardRhino viruses typically cause common colds.

Three samples of children are selected with n = 5 in each sample. One group gets no caffeine, one group gets a small dose, and the third group gets a large dose.

Your answer should include hypotheses, critical boundary, F-score, and results including notation, decision, and explanation. Calculate and interpret effect size if appropriate. Indicate whether post- hoc test results should be calculated (i.e., "yes, include" or "no, do not include").
