Discussion:
Q: A group of 20 sales associates agree to go through a week-long sales class to improve their productivity. The amount of their sales are computed for one month before and one month after the training course. Run the paired t-test to find out if:
Is there evidence to suggest that the training course helps out sales people?
Should we send the rest of our sales associates to the course?
