PLEASE HELP!! Activity
The sales director noticed that sales in the Midwest and Northeast regions were not as expected.
Additional field training is necessary for the sales representatives in these regions.
After conducting a one-month training program, the sales director wants to determine the
effectiveness of the training. After all, the company invested a significant amount of money in this
program! So the sales director collects the sales data for the first month after the training. The sales
director wants to compare the number of orders secured by those who attended the training program
and those who didn't attend. This study will help the company to determine the effectiveness of the
training

Experiment because a treatment was applied to the sales representatives. This is the best statistical study for this
situation because the sales director is trying to establish correlation.
