A major company would like to assess the impact of using a professional trainer to conduct a confidence-building workshop with its salespeople. A sample of 16 workers is obtained. Half (n = 8) attend the workshop and the other half (n = 8) serves as a control group. Two weeks later, each of the participants is given a questionnaire measuring the level of self-confidence. The data are as follows: Controls Workshop M = 17.5 M = 22.7 SS = 100 SS = 12

Controls Workshop
M = 17.5 M = 22.7
SS = 100 SS = 124
