machine | 125 | 3 | 41.667 |
operator | 215 | 5 | 43.000 |
error | 60 | 15 | 4.000 |
total | 400 | 23 |
degrees of freedom for the machines =3
degrees of freedom for the operators =5
degrees of freedom for the errors =15
critical value of F for the machine treatment effect at the 1% level of significance =5.417
mean square for machines =41.667
mean square for operators =43
mean square for error =4
computed value of F for the machines =11.574
computed value of F for the operators =11.944
reject the null hypothesis as test statistic 11.944 is higher than critical value 4.556
