A new machine has just been installed to cut and rough shape large slugs. The slugs are then transferred to a precision grinder. One of the critical measurements is the outside diameter. The quality control inspector randomly selected 5 slugs each hour, measured the outside diameter and recorded the results. The measurements in millimeters for the period 8:00 to 10:30.
