A new machine has just been installed to cut and rough-shape large slugs. The slugs are then transferred to a precision grinder. One of the critical measurements is the outside diameter. The quality control inspector randomly selected five slugs each half-hour, measured the outside diameter, and recorded the results. The sample standard deviation is .557. The measurements (in millimeters) for the period 8:00 A.M. to 10:30 A.M are:
Slug Outside Diameter (millimeters)
Time 12345
8:0087.187.387.987.087.0
8:3086.988.587.687.587.4
9:0087.588.486.987.688.2
9:3086.088.087.287.687.1
10:0087.187.187.187.187.1
10:3088.086.287.487.387.8
