Please note that this question consists of six parts. You may use MINITAB to find a final answer. However you MUST show all the mathematical work to get to the final answer. Just giving the answer without adequate work/explanation may result in zero for the question.  A company wants to know if the office location affects productivity. Management randomly select employees from each of four different office locations and record the number of tasks completed in a day. They decided to use One-way ANOVA and need your help to interpret the results. Use provided partial output to answer below questions.  Write down the null and alternative hypotheses for testing whether or not the average number of tasks completed per day is the same for the four locations. Define parameters when you set up null and alternative hypotheses. Compute the degrees of freedom missing in the ANOVA output (i.e. error degrees of freedom) Compute the sum of squares missing in the table (i.e. sum of square treatment) Compute the F-value missing in the ANOVA output. At a 5% significant level is there sufficient evidence to claim that the the average number of tasks completed per day is different in at least one of the locations. Explain your answer. The output for Tukey pairwise comparisons is given below. Based on the output: Are the average number of tasks completed per day for locations 1 and 4 significantly different? Explain your answer. Which location seems to have the highest average number of tasks completed per day?

A service provider is interested in the time for handling a customer complaint (in minutes). For a random sample of 16 customers, the mean time is 21.8 min and the standard deviation is 4.6 min. Find 99% confidence interval for the population mean time for handling a customer complaint.
