Question

You have conducted pre- and post-test measures of the effectiveness of pay raises on employee productivity, measured as net $ sales for the month. Calculate the mean differences between the two time periods (as an absolute value) for the following 5 cases, with pre and post separated by a semi-colon:

a.Employee 1: 10000; 14000

b.Employee 2: 12000; 11000

c.Employee 3: 11000, 13000

d.Employee 4: 8000; 10000

e.Employee 5: 9000; 12000

Answer 1

Explanation:

Employee Pre Post difference

1 10000 14000 4000

2 12000 11000 -1000

3 11000 13000 2000

4 8000 10000 2000

5 9000 12000 3000

Total=10000

Mean difference = Total difference/number of employees

= 10,000 /5 = 2000

Mean difference = 2000.
