Explain how the number of orders per day for warehouse M compare to the number of order per day for warehouse

Wearhouse M has an average of 1,417.31 orders shipped per day, and Warehouse N has an average of 1,505.39 packages shipped per day. meaning that Wearhouse N has a greater mean (or average) compared to Wearhouse M.

Wearhouse M has a standard deviation (The safety net of how much the average can change) of 67.54 and Wearhouse N has a standard deviation of 67.70 which means that these are practically the same number.
