A paper company manufactures cardboard boxes. The company wishes to investigate the effects of four production methods on the number of defective boxes produced in an hour. The company randomly selects three machine operators and trains each operator thoroughly to use all four production methods.

Question
A paper company manufactures cardboard boxes. The company wishes to investigate the effects of four production methods
on the number of defective boxes produced in an hour. The company randomly selects three machine operators and trains
each operator thoroughly to use all four production methods. Then each operator will produce boxes for one hour using each
of the four production methods. Test the null hypothesis that the population mean number of defective boxes is the same for
the four production methods. Use the output below to answer the following questions. Use a significance level of 0.05 to
conduct all hypothesis tests and construct confidence intervals.
