1. At the 0.01 significance level, can we conclude there is a difference in the mean production rate by shift or by employee?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is there is a difference in the mean production rate by shift

Step-by-step explanation:

The level of significance is actually very low since the same production level is maintained for each of the 5 workers at the same time in the afternoon.

As for the other shifts, that is, the day shift and the night shift, the level of significance varies according to the production established by each worker.h
