JM collected 18 random samples from each of the 20 pieces. After the analysis, then samples proved to be incapable based on the specification width of 1.44 cm.

Quiet disappointed with the end results, the manager was figuring out ways to improve the process and free the capital expenditure of $10,000. A former professor suggested going for more samples with less sample sizes. JM conducted the analysis on27 samples of 5 observations each and the results are tabulated below:
