Jamming attacks on wireless networks. Refer to the International Journal of Production Economics (Vol. 172, 2016) study of U.S. military jamming attacks on wireless networks used by terrorists, Exercise 1.16 (p. 26 ). Recall that 80 recent jamming attacks were classified according to network type (WLAN, WSN, or AHN) attacked and number of channels (single- or multi-channel) of the network. The results are summarized in the accompanying table.
- a. Construct a Pareto diagram for the data. Interpret the results.
- b. Construct a pie chart for network type only. Interpret the results.
