Question

A quality product is one that is consistent and has very little variability in its characteristics. Controlling variability can be more difficult with agricultural products than with those that are manufactured. The following table gives the weights, in ounces, of the 25 potatoes sold in a 10-pound bag.

 
7.6 7.9 8.1 6.9 6.8 7.9 7.9 7.9 7.7 7.9 7.1 4.7 7.6
6.3 4.6 4.8 4.8 6.3 6.1 5.4 4.2 7.9 5.2 6.0 3.6

 

There appear to be two distinct clusters of weights for these potatoes. Divide the sample into two subsamples based on the clustering. Summarize the data numerically. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
