Well, darling, if the typist types at a rate of 70 words per minute for 12 minutes, she can type a total of 840 words. Simple math, honey. Just keep those fingers flying across the keyboard and you'll have your answer in no time.
To determine how many pages the typist can copy in 49 minutes, we divide the total time by the time per page. 49 minutes / 3.5 minutes per page = 14 pages. Therefore, the typist can copy 14 pages in 49 minutes.
Like any such question it depends. Base: average person hand writes at about 33 words/min. A study in 1999 by Karat C.M., Halverson C., Horn D. and Karat J. split average people in three groups, "fast" typists, this would be your average typist, even professional typists, average around 40 word per minute (wpm) "moderate" around 35 and "slow" typists around 23 wpm. That said, some data entry jobs, especially time-sensitive data-entry jobs require that employees type at around 80-90wpm. It is rare, but there are typists who exceed 120wpm, and i think the record still stands from 1946 at a pretty staggering 212 wpm. (Note: word is standardized to 5 characters)
The average number of numeric keystrokes per hour can vary widely depending on the task and the individual's typing speed. Generally, a proficient typist can achieve around 60 to 80 words per minute, translating to roughly 300 to 400 keystrokes per minute. Assuming a focus on numeric data entry, this could amount to approximately 18,000 to 24,000 numeric keystrokes per hour. However, actual figures can differ based on the specific context and the user's familiarity with the numeric input.

These days, most companies use computer programs to measure the speed of the typist. (keyboardist, if you are being technical) They take the words per minute that you type and subtract the number of errors from your speed.
Net words per minute is determined by measuring a typist's average gross speed in words per minute over a ten-minute period and subtracting the number of errors made during that period.
