Use the values from the ANOVA table to test the Hypothesis etc.

From time to time, unknown to its employees, the research department at a commercial bank observes various employees for their efficiency. Recently, this department wanted to check whether four tellers at a branch of this bank serve, on average, the same number of customers per hour. The research assistant observed each of the four tellers for a certain number of hours in a given week. The following table gives the number of customers served by the four tellers during each of the observed hours.

Teller A Teller B Teller C Teller D

26 14 21 21
24 13 13 26
18 17 16 20
13 18

The following ANOVA table was generated from the sample results:

Source of Variation Sum of Squares Degrees of Freedom Mean Square F-ratio
Treatment or Factor SSF=?? k-1=?? MSF=??
Error SSE=?? N-k=?? MSE=??
Total SST=?? N-1=??

a) Copy the ANOVA table above and use a statistical software to compute the missing values of the ANOVA table.
b) Use the values from the ANOVA table to answer the following:

i. What hypothesis is being tested in the problem?
