Question 43

An occupational psychologist wants to investigate whether there is a difference in productivity between employees who work in open-plan offices and those who work in private cubicles. Two separate groups of 20 employees are monitored. Productivity is assessed by counting the total number of key projects successfully completed by each employee over a six-month period. A preliminary analysis shows that the distribution of projects completed is highly skewed.
