In a study on the settlement of piles used in building foundations, data on the observed pile settlement were collected and compared with the calculated/estimated values. The ratio of the observed to the calculated settlements is a measure of the accuracy of the calculation method. The ratios are shown in the table below and as can be observed, it shows considerable variability: 
Ratios of Observed Settlement to Calculated Settlement of Piles

0.12 0.97 0.86 1.14 0.94
2.37 0.88 0.92 1.01 0.99
1.02 1.04 0.99 0.87 0.52
0.94 1.06 1.38 1.04 1.18
1 0.86 0.82 0.84 1.09

a. Assuming that the ratio is a normal random variable, construct a probability plot and observe if the data points follow a linear trend.
