A general physician recorded the oral and rectal temperatures of nine consecutive patients who made first visits to his office. The temperatures are given in degrees Celsius (°C). The following measurements were recorded:

Patient Number	Oral Temperature (deg °C)	Rectal Temperature (deg °C)
1	37.0	37.3
2	37.4	37.8
3	38.0	39.3
4	37.3	38.2
5	38.1	38.4
6	37.1	37.3
7	37.6	37.8
8	37.9	37.9
9	38.0	38.3
