1. Three training methods were compared to see if they led to greater productivity after training.

The following are

productivity measures for individuals trained by each method.

Method 1 45 40 50 39 53 44
Method 2 59 43 47 51 39 49
Method 3 41 37 43 40 52 37
At the 0.05 level of significance, do the three training methods lead to different levels of productivity?
