The mean of the waiting times in an emergeny room is 101 minutes with a standard deviation of 12.6 minutes for people who are admitted for additional treatment. The mean for waiting time for patients who are discharged after receiving treatment is 85 minutes with a standard deviation of 17.4 minutes. Which times are more valuable. Calculate the coefficient of variation. Round your answers to one decimal place. Additional treatment CVar: Discharged CVar
