Question

Use the Minitab display to test the claims using the significance level of =0.05. The sample data are the numbers of support beams manufactured by 3 different operators using 3 different machines. Assume that there is no interaction effect from operator and machine.

Test the claim that the four operators have the same mean production output.
The Ftest statistic is  
The P-value is  
Is there sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the four machine operators have the same mean production output?
A. No
B. Yes

Test the claim that the choice of machine has no effect on the production output.
The Ftest statistic is  
The P-value is  
Is there sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the choice of machine has no effect on the production output?
A. Yes
B. No

Explanation / Answer

Hypothesis for operators:

Ho: There is no significance difference between means of 3 operators

H1: There is a significance difference between means of 3 operators

alpha:5%

F=2.495

P value=0.198

Conclusion: P>0.05, we do not reject the H0. Hence claim is not significant

Hence there is no sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the four machine operators have the same mean production output

Hypothesis for machines:

Ho: There is no significance difference between means of 3 machines

H1: There is a significance difference between means of 3 machines.

alpha:5%

F=0.76

P value=0.066

Conclusion: P>0.05, we do not reject the H0. Hence claim is not significant

Hence there is no  sufficient evidence to warrant the rejection of the claim that the choice of machine has no effect on the production output
