Four chemical plants, producing the same products and owned by the same company, discharge effluents into streams in the vicinity of their locations. To monitor the extent of pollution created by the effluents and to determine whether this differs from plant to plant, the company collected random samples of liquid waste, five specimens from each plant. The data are given in the accompanying table.

Plant	Polluting Effluents (lb/gal of waste)
A	1.65	1.72	1.5	1.37	1.6
B	1.7	1.85	1.46	2.05	1.8
C	1.4	1.75	1.38	1.65	1.55
D	2.1	1.95	1.65	1.88	2
