Answer: You only have 5 samples, always when you want to do statistics, you need a large sample size.

let's suppose you throw a dice 5 times, the results that it shows are 1,4,2,1,4. If you make statistics whit that numbers, you will think that the 1 and 4 have a bigger possibility than the other numbers, but that can't be, if you throw the dice enough times you will se that all numbers have the same possibility.
