Since the F value 0.350 which is lower than the F critical value of 5.14 and P is 0.717828 we can conclude there is not a large difference in production for each employee. The significance level is 0.05 and since the P-value is higher than the significance level the hypothesis will not be rejected.

Suppose we had rejected the null hypothesis. How would we know which employee's performance was better?

Explanation / Answer

In case if we would have been rejected the null hypothesis, the result would have been that atleast one of the mean is different from the others. To check which employees performance was better, we need to perform pariwise comparison test and with post hoc analysis using Tukey - Kramer or other procedures, we can check which employees performance was better.
