2. The seek time is the time it takes a specific part of a hardware's mechanics to locate a particular piece of information on a storage device. This value is typically expressed in milliseconds (ms), where a smaller value indicates a faster seek time. The average seek time for hard drives have been slowly improving over time, with the first (IBM 305) having a seek time of about 600 ms. A couple decades later saw average HDD seek time to be around 25 ms. Modern hard drives may have a seek time around 9 ms, mobile devices 12 ms, and high-end servers having around 4 ms of a seek time. Apple Computers are interested in producing iPhone 15 to be released in 2023. The average seek time for this iPhone 15 has been determined to be 12.1ms +/- .25ms. During each hour of a 10-hour production run, a sample of 6 iPhones was collected at a process along the line. The following data were collected.
