The owner of a popular barber shop in İstanbul is anxious about reducing the total time a custommer spends (i.e waiting to be served plus time served) in the barber shop. They randomly select four custommers each day and find the total time they spent in the shop. Using these four observations they find the sample mean and range. These observations are repeated for 25 days. The summary data for these 25 samples are given as:

Mean of the 25 sample means = 50 and the mean of 25 sample Ranges = 12.
