5 A supervisor of a group of six workers wanted to check the accuracy and precision of his
workers doing a manual operation of cutting a specified length of a bandage. The target for
length is 5 m. He collected eight random samples from the bandages cut by each of the workmen
and measured them. The results are given in the table below:

LENGTH OF BANDAGES

Ans 4.94m cut by C

1.5.6 What is the length of the longest individual bandage and who had cut it?

Ans 5.05m cut by A

1.5.7 What is the overall mean of all the samples? 4.998 m
