Solution Steps

To find the ratio of the employer's contribution to the employee's contribution, we need to divide the employer's contribution by the employee's contribution.

Step 1: Define Contributions

Let the employee's contribution be \( E = 475 \) and the employer's contribution be \( M = 250 \).

Step 2: Calculate the Ratio

The ratio of the employer's contribution to the employee's contribution is given by:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{M}{E} = \frac{250}{475} \]

Step 3: Simplify the Ratio

Calculating the ratio yields:

\[ \text{Ratio} \approx 0.5263 \]

Final Answer

The ratio of the employer's contribution to the employee's contribution is approximately \\(\boxed{0.53}\\).

1920s and 1930s, Hawthorne Works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. In one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. Prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. Then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. The teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. Over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). For each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. For some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity. Why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? To create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be established To provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity To directly control for confounding variables
