The table below lists performance metrics for seven regional logistics distribution hubs:
| Logistics Hub | Region | Order Fulfillment Rate (orders/hr) | On-Time Delivery Rate (%) | Storage Capacity (thousand sq ft) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hub Alpha | North | 420 | 94.5% | 150 |
| Hub Beta | East | 510 | 91.2% | 210 |
| Hub Gamma | North | 420 | 96.8% | 180 |
| Hub Delta | West | 380 | 98.1% | 120 |
| Hub Epsilon | South | 510 | 95.4% | 190 |
| Hub Zeta | East | 470 | 93.0% | 160 |
| Hub Eta | South | 510 | 92.5% | 220 |
True or False: If the table is sorted primarily by Order Fulfillment Rate (orders/hr) in descending order, and ties are broken by On-Time Delivery Rate (%) in descending order, the hub ranked 3rd in the ordered list has a greater Storage Capacity than the hub ranked 5th.
Answer: Answer
Answer
True
Sorting the table by Order Fulfillment Rate descending places hubs with 510 orders/hr in the top positions. Breaking ties by On-Time Delivery Rate descending orders these three hubs as Hub Epsilon (95.4%), Hub Eta (92.5%), and Hub Beta (91.2%), making Hub Beta 3rd. The next group (420 orders/hr) orders Hub Gamma (96.8%) ahead of Hub Alpha (94.5%), placing Hub Gamma 5th overall. Comparing Hub Beta's storage capacity (210) to Hub Gamma's (180) confirms that .
