EverRunIncorporated produces treadmills for use in exercise clubs and recreation centers. The treadmill motors are purchased from an outside vendor. Currently, EverRunis considering which motor to include in its new ER 1500 series. Three potential suppliers have been identified: Venetti, Madison, and Edison. EverRunhas decided to make its decision based on how long a motor operates at a high level of speed and incline before it fails. A random sample of motors is selected from each type and each motor is tested to determine how many minutes it operates before it needs to be repaired. The time in minutes is recorded.The Excel output is presented below.
