A simple random sample of 44 female cottonmouths yielded the following data on number of young per litter.
| 5 | 12 | 7 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 12 | 9 | 7 |
| 4 | 9 | 6 | 12 | 7 | 5 | 6 | 10 | 3 |
| 10 | 8 | 8 | 12 | 5 | 6 | 10 | 11 | 3 |
| 8 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 11 | 7 | 6 | 8 |
| 8 | 14 | 8 | 7 | 11 | 7 | 5 | 4 |
