You need a statistical analysis program. If you know anyone who is Six Sigma trained he/she will have one you can use and will know how to 'drive' it.

You'll need a lot more data points than what you have presented.
 
Looking at pump acceptance standards you will find upwards of 4% tolerance on performance. ISO9906, API 610 or AS 2419.

The biggest uncertainty is the salesman who has flogged you a pump running at 135% of BEP and has only considered one duty point not the whole range of operating flows and heads.
