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.
| Typist | Standard Keyboard (Before) | Ergonomic Keyboard (After) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 14 | 10 |
| B | 20 | 15 |
| C | 18 | 18 |
| D | 12 | 14 |
| E | 22 | 16 |
| F | 11 | 12 |
| G | 25 | 19 |
| H | 15 | 15 |
| I | 17 | 13 |
| J | 9 | 13 |
| K | 21 | 13 |
| L | 16 | 11 |
