Smithers thinks that a special kinds of juice will increase the productivity of
workers. He creates four groups of 25 workers each and assigns each group
the same task (they're supposed to staple a set of four papers). Group A is
given the 200 mL of ginsing juice to drink while they stapled. Group B is
given 200 mL of GreenTea juice to drink while they stapled. Group C is
given 200 mL of Echinacea juice to drink while they stapled. Group D is not
given a special juice. After an hour, Smithers counts how many stacks of
papers each group has made. Group A made 1,587 stacks. Group B made
1,718 stacks. Group C made 1,643 stacks. Group D made 2,113 stacks.
