Ten samples each of size five are drawn at regular intervals from a manufacturing process. The sample means `(bar"X")` and their ranges (R) are given below:
| Sample number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| `bar"X"` | 49 | 45 | 48 | 53 | 39 | 47 | 46 | 39 | 51 | 45 |
| R | 7 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 5 | 8 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 6 |
