75 employees over the course of a year were sampled using a 50 point scale. Here are their scores separated by the treatment of having received specialized training or receiving no additional training relating to their new position -

Scores of those with specialized training -

45, 43, 38, 29, 41, 46, 44, 39, 34, 50, 39, 32, 29, 36, 45, 48, 39, 41, 37, 49, 41, 42, 49, 42, 28, 39, 41, 41, 36, 22, 36, 31, 21, 39, 41,43, 41, 33
