Q2. Two distributions of data are being analyzed. Distribution A has a mean of 250 and a standard deviation equal to 50. Distribution B has a mean of 5 and a standard deviation equal to 2.0. Based on this information, use the coefficient of variation to determine which distribution has greater relative variation. (3 marks)

Step 1
The coefficient of variation is calculated as the standard deviation divided by the mean, multiplied by 100%. For distribution A, the coefficient of variation is (50/250) * 100% = 20%. Show more…

Two distributions of data are being analyzed. Distribution A has a mean of 375 and a standard deviation equal to 150. Distribution B has a mean of 30 and a standard deviation equal to 6.0. Based on this information, use the coefficient of variation to determine which distribution has greater relative variation. Choose the correct answer below. A. Distribution A has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is less than distribution B's. B. Distribution B has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is greater than distribution A's. C. Distribution B has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is less than distribution A's. D. Distribution A has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is greater than distribution B's.
