Oxnard Petro, Ltd., has three interdisciplinary project development teams that function on an ongoing basis. Team members rotate from time to time. Every 4 months (three times a year) each department head rates the performance of each project team (using a 0 to 100 scale, where 100 is the best rating). Are the main effects significant? Is there an interaction?

Null Hypothesis: the data does not prove a significant differencein mean weekly sales
Alternative Hypothesis: the data prove a significant difference inmean weekly sales

For this data we have to do the ANOVA one way analysis.

Using MINITAB SOFTWARE :

Analysis of Variance

Source DF Adj SS Adj MS F-Value P-Value
Factor 3 1325 441.78 4.71 0.015
Error 16 1501 93.82
Total 19 2827

Here p-value is less than0.05=alpha level significance so we reject the null hypothesis andconclude that the data prove a significant difference in meanweekly sales
