One of the fast food industry's competition metrics is drive-thru time-that is, how much time elapses between customers placing an order and then receiving it. This metric is particularly important on Fridays. To reach the company's goal for this month, you want to know if average sales revenue on Friday nights can be increased by keeping the drive-thru open longer. You collect data for Friday drive-thru hours by store, the corresponding average hourly sales, and daily sales for the month. Additional detail regarding the data set is provided here. . . . Store ID: a unique identification number for each store. City the location of the store. Friday drive-thru start starting time of the drive-thru on Fridays. Friday drive-thru end ending time of the drive-thru on Fridays. Drive-thru hours: total number of drive-thru hours. Average revenue per hour average revenue per hour for this store on Fridays. Average revenue per day average revenue per day for this store on Fridays. Use the Drive Thru data set available in Wiley Course Resources to answer the following question. Click here to view Drive Thru data set (d) To further investigate the original question of whether you can increase average sales revenue by increasing the drive-thru hours, your colleague creates a visualization with the number of drive-thru hours and the average sales per hour as follows (each circle represents a store). She concludes that the average sales revenue per hour is lower for stores with drive-thrus that are open langer Is this how you interpret the visualization, as well? If so, does that observation suggest the drive-thrus should not increase their hours? Explain. $1,100 $1,000 Average Revenue per Hour $300 $800 $700 $600 $500 $400- $300- $200 $300- BIY 50 Average Revenue per Hour by Drive-Thru Hours T A T' I 1 34 Deive-Thru Hours E E 16 a DE M 20 22 E H 19 T T O Word(s) SUPPORT
