Statisticians often have to make decisions based on incomplete information. Here is one such situation. A computer program is designed to convert lists of numbers into standard units. The program is used on a list of 100 numbers. A statistician sees the first 10 of the 100 results that the program produces. They are:

-6.8, 2.3, 4.9, -11, -1.15, 4.9, -5.1, 0.7, 8.1, -4.8

Based on this information, what is the statistician’s best assessment about whether the program is working?
