Question: An important factor in selecting software for word - processing and database management systems is the time required to learn how to use the system.

An important factor in selecting software for word-processing and database management systems is the time required to learn how to use the system. To evaluate three file management systems, a firm designed a test involving word processing operators. Since operator variability was believed to have an impact, each of the operators was trained on all three of the file management systems.
------------------ ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE TABLE -----------------
SUM OF SQ'S D.F. MEAN SQ. F(D.F./8) P-VALUE
System 103.33251.6756.360.000019
Operator 64.67416.1717.630.000494
ERROR 7.3380.92
---------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL 175.3314
If we are using an alpha value of .05 then we would conclude that
Question 9 options:
A)
differences exist among both systems and operators.
B)
differences exist among systems only.
C)
differences exist among operators only.
D)
