Question

You have a company with 300 employees. Every year they have to go through a mandatory training which requires them to watch company made videos. You want to test if the employees will pay more attention to the videos if they include popular music (top 50 hits) or classical music. You select 40 employees to take part in a study where they watch the videos alone in a room and someone watching from a webcam counts how many times the employee looked away from the screen (you call this 'Distractions'). Half of the employees watch the videos with popular music and the other half watch with classical music. Use Popular music as group 1 and Classical music as group 2. The first 5 rows of the data are shown here.
