Office-chair racing is now an official sport in Japan. Teams of 3 race around a 200-meter circuit for 2 hours to see who can complete the most laps. Tonya, an office-chair racing coach, contacts the top 5 teams and randomly assigns them to complete a practice race using one of two popular brands of office chair: Brand A and Brand B. In a different time period, the same teams complete a practice race using the opposite brand of chair. Here are the data: A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled Brand A with entries 116, 107, 101, 97, 94. Column 2 is labeled Brand B with entries 114, 102, 100, 94, 90. Calculate the mean difference (Brand A – Brand B) and the standard deviation of the differences.
