Use MINITAB and the following information to answer questions 39–42. A new production manager who believes that music can improve productivity arranges for music to be played on two out of three assembly lines. The first assembly line has no music. The second assembly line hears classical music.
The third assembly line hears “easy-listening” music. The productivity in the 10 working days after the experiment began is summarized in the following table. The data are believed not to follow a normal distribution.

Can the production manager say that playing music (of whatever type) is better than not playing music? Do a 5 percent test.
