An engineer is testing the reaction time of a newly designed automatic emergency braking (AEB) system in a test vehicle. The system is triggered by a sudden obstacle, and the sensor's reaction time (the delay before the brakes are mechanically engaged) is recorded across five trials.
| Trial | Reaction time (s) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.18 |
| 2 | 0.62 |
| 3 | 0.19 |
| 4 | 0.16 |
| 5 | 0.17 |
Explain whether any of the readings in the table are anomalous.
