A process that is considered to be in control measures an ingredient in ounces. Below are the last 10 samples (each of size n = 5) taken. The population process standard deviation, is 1.36.

Samples:

Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Sample 4 Sample 5 Sample 6 Sample 7 Sample 8 Sample 9 Sample 10
10 9 13 10 12 10 10 13 8 10
