in this case 2 groups of hunters one in forest and one near village. Forest: Avg 7.5 nets, 6.2 hrs/hunt, 4.7 Antelope/hunt
Village: Avg 7.2 nets, 5.6 hrs/hunt, 3.0 Antelope/hunt
How could I combine all three variable for each set to find which group is statistically signifigantly more efficient?

Productivity is measured or computed based on resources, manpower-time required and how much product is being produced. Productivity is essentially how much of product is being made per amount labor spent.
The equation I would use is
(Quantity of product) / (Cost of resources + cost of labor) assuming that the cost per unit is the same we have.
Forest 4.7/ (7.5+6.2) = .34
Village 3/(7.2 + 5.6) = .23
The higher the number of items produced (antelopes in this case) the more productive is the group so forest is more productive.

effecieny can be measured as ant/hour/net that is
Forest 4.7/(6.2 x 7.5) = .101
Vilalge 3/(5.6 x 7.2) = .074
thus forest is more efficient since it has a higher effeciency, which makes sense since there are more animals in the forest...
