A pharmaceutical company fills a drug which is in a powder form into a bottle. It has an automated
process consisting of a filling machine and a sealing unit. After filling the bottle, it is automatically
sealed with a metallic cap. To monitor the quality of the process, samples of size 5 are drawn
periodically from the process and the quantity filled is measured. The table below has data on 12
such observations.
