- An industrial psychologist finds that the numbers of errors employees make increase as the day progresses, reaching a peak between 3:00 and 5:00 PM. She randomly divides a sample of 20 employees into two groups. One group takes a 15-minute coffee break from 2:45 to 3:00 PM (Break Group). The other group proceeds on the same work schedule as before without a break (No Break Group). Below are the subsequent numbers of errors made between 3:00 and 5:00 PM by each of the groups.These data have already been entered into an SPSS data file called "SPSS Computational Problem - Data Set B" that you must download from Canvas. In the SPSS file Work Schedule Group is coded as: 1 = Break Group, 2 = No Break Group. Did the 15-minute coffee break affect the number of employee errors?
Break Group | No Break Group |
5 | 2 |
6 | 3 |
7 | 4 |
4 | 3 |
8 | 4 |
9 | 4 |
6 | 3 |
5 | 1 |
7 | 5 |
6 | 4 |
Note. Work Schedule Group: 1 = Break Group, 2 = No Break Group.
