Question:
Given a recent outbreak of illness caused by E. coli bacteria, the mayor in a large city is concerned that some of his restaurant inspectors are not consistent with their evaluations of a restaurant's cleanliness. In order to investigate this possibility, the mayor has five restaurant inspectors grade (scale of 0 to 100) the cleanliness of three restaurants. The results are shown in the accompanying table.

2........................68..........55...........85
3........................73..........59...........80
4........................69..........60...........82
5........................75..........56...........84
