Assume that the number of items produced is not affected by an interaction between employee
and machine. Using a 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the machine has no effect on
the number of items produced. $\begin{array}{cccc}&&&\text { Employee }\\&&\mathbf{A}&\mathbf{B}&\mathbf{C}\\&\text { I } & 16,18,19 & 15,17,20 & 14,18,16 \\\text { Machine } &\text { II } & 20,27,29 & 25,28,27 & 29,28,26 \\&\text { III } & 15,18,17 & 16,16,19 & 13,17,16\end{array}$

$\quad$$\quad$$\text { ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE ITEMS }$

$\begin{array}{lcrr}\text { SOURCE } & \text { DF } & \text { SS } &{\text { MS }} \\\text { MACHINE } & 2 & 588.74 & 294.37 \\\text { EMPLOYEE } & 2 & 2.07 & 1.04 \\\text { INTERACTION } & 4 & 15.48 & 3.87 \\\text { ERROR } & 18 & 98.67 & 5.48 \\\text { TOTAL } & 26 & 704.96 &\end{array}$ Using a 0.05 significance level, test the claim that the interaction between employee and
