a. City Airlines is studying the weight of luggage for each passenger. For a large group of domestic passengers, the mean is 47kg with a standard deviation of 10kg. For a large group of overseas passengers, the mean is 78kg and the standard deviation is 15 kg. Compute the relative dispersion (using coefficient of variation) and comment of the difference in the relative dispersions.
b. The Final grade of a statistics class is determined by a score from 0 to 100, which has three components: a class assignment component of 20%, a mid-semester exam that contribute 30% and a final exam that contribute 50%.
