past years has been the breakage and, hence, the concern on the durability of the connector between
the lid and the bottle which many users use as a handle for the bottles. To collect evidence before
implementing any modification to the production process, your department has subjected 100 water
bottles to a durability test and the following data on the number of times the handles have been used
to lift the bottles before they break are contained in the file Scenario3-14-DataB.XLSX. $$\begin{array} { l l l l l l l l l l } 493 & 506 & 515 & 491 & 500 & 505 & 517 & 510 & 506 & 503 \\503 & 491 & 495 & 496 & 496 & 505 & 493 & 486 & 504 & 483 \\514 & 494 & 497 & 501 & 493 & 490 & 510 & 494 & 494 & 495 \\494 & 486 & 495 & 506 & 506 & 507 & 502 & 498 & 510 & 501 \\500 & 505 & 492 & 486 & 501 & 496 & 501 & 521 & 510 & 498\end{array}$$
