A college's provost (chief academic officer) selects a random sample of 5 students' overall grade point averages (GPAs) in each of 8 consecutive semesters. These sample GPAs along with their sample means (x), sample ranges (R), and sample proportions (p^) are given in the table below.
(FYI: Any GPA that is less than 2.0 was considered "defective" in the calculation of the p^ statistics for each subgroup.)
| Subgroup | x | R | p^ | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3.5 | 3.1 | 2.4 | 2.9 | 3.4 | 3.06 | 1.1 | 0 |
| 2 | 3.0 | 3.8 | 2.8 | 2.9 | 2.1 | 2.92 | 1.7 | 0 |
| 3 | 1.3 | 3.0 | 1.2 | 1.4 | 1.9 | 1.76 | 1.8 | 0.8 |
| 4 | 2.2 | 1.6 | 3.3 | 3.0 | 1.5 | 2.32 | 1.8 | 0.4 |
| 5 | 1.1 | 3.6 | 3.3 | 1.9 | 1.8 | 2.34 | 2.5 | 0.6 |
| 6 | 3.7 | 3.3 | 4.0 | 3.8 | 1.5 | 3.26 | 2.5 | 0.2 |
| 7 | 2.2 | 2.1 | 3.8 | 3.8 | 1.7 | 2.72 | 2.1 | 0.2 |
