Question 46

An occupational therapist is investigating whether a new ergonomic keyboard design reduces the number of typing errors made during a standard 10-minute copy-typing task. She conducts an experiment using a sample of 12 professional typists. In the first session, the typists use a standard keyboard (Before) and record their errors. In the second session, after a week of practice, they use the ergonomic keyboard (After) and record the number of errors under identical typing conditions. The data for each participant is presented in the table below.
