A large clothing manufacturing company was interested in the effects of certain changes in the work environment on employee productivity. From a pool of garment cutter applicants who had taken a pre-test designed to measure speed and accuracy, ten matched pairs were selected for employment. One member of each matched pair was assigned to work in a new experimental workspace where soothing music was played, muted colors were used on the walls, and comfortable lounging areas were available for coffee breaks. The other member of each matched pair was assigned to the traditional workspace. The assignment was made by tossing a coin. After six months, productivity was measured by counting the number of garments cut per hour by each worker. These scores were used to rank-order the workers. The

manufacturer is interested in whether or not the change in the workspace influenced productivity. What non-parametric test would you choose to answer the question? What will be an ideal response?
