  1. Calculate the sample mean, and the sample median of the difference between after and before.

Answer:

Count: 11

Sum: 206.1

Mean: 18.736363636364

Median: 20.5

  1. Compute the range and the inter-quartile range for the difference;

Lowest value: 3.8

Highest value: 30.6

Range: 26.8

Lower quartile (xL): 11.8

Upper quartile (xU): 25.3

Interquartile range (xU-xL): 13.5

  1. Calculate the standard deviation for the difference;

Standard deviation (): 7.9420941510493
