Question

A Company wants to maintain the quality of bottling process which uses a  particular brand of machine to fill 100 ml sanitizer spray bottle. During each  shift, a sample of 10 bottles is selected (2 hours apart) and the volume of the each filled sanitizer spray bottle (in ml) is determined. In this regards, total 25 subgroups consisting of a sample of 10 bottles in each subgroup were selected. The following table lists the measurements from 25 consecutive shifts:
