A quality analyst wants to construct a sample mean chart for controlling a packaging process. He knows from past experience that whenever this process is in control, package weight is normally distributed with a mean of 20 ounces and a standard deviation of two ounces.

| Wednesday | 20 | 19 | 20 | 21 |
| Thursday | 18 | 19 | 20 | 19 |
| Friday | 18 | 20 | 22 | 20 |
