The means and standard deviations of heights ans weights of 50 students of a class are as follows:   Weights Heights Mean 63.2 kg 63.2 inch Standard deviation 5.6 kg 11.5 inch Which shows more variability, heights or weights?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
height will show more variability than weights.

Given: the mean and SD is given of 50 students.

Let us find which shows more variability, height and weight.

By using the formulas,

Coefficient of variations `=\frac{SD}{\text { Mean }} \times 100 `
