Consider the following sets of sample data:

A:

20,40720,407, 20,14520,145, 20,36320,363, 20,12420,124, 21,17721,177, 21,46521,465, 22,19422,194, 20,83420,834, 21,71721,717, 21,61321,613, 21,61921,619, 21,22321,223, 20,53220,532, 21,19521,195

B:

4.264.26, 4.004.00, 4.014.01, 4.144.14, 3.603.60, 4.584.58, 2.942.94, 3.813.81, 3.783.78, 2.982.98, 3.503.50

Step 1 of 2 :

For each of the above sets of sample data, calculate the coefficient of variation, CV. Round to one decimal place.

To calculate the **coefficient of variation (CV)** for each set of data, we use the following formula:

\[
CV = \left( \frac{\sigma}{\mu} \right) \times 100
\]

Where:
- \(\sigma\) is the **standard deviation** of the data set.
- \(\mu\) is the **mean** of the data set.

### Step-by-step process:

1. **Calculate the mean (\(\mu\))**:
   The mean is the sum of all values in the data set divided by the number of values.

   \[
   \mu = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}
   \]

   Where \(x_i\) are the data points and \(n\) is the number of data points.

2. **Calculate the standard deviation (\(\sigma\))**:
   The standard deviation is calculated as:

   \[
   \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum (x_i - \mu)^2}
   \]

3. **Plug the values into the CV formula**.

Now, let’s go through this calculation for both sets of data:

---

### Data Set A:
**Data:**  
20,40720,407, 20,14520,145, 20,36320,363, 20,12420,124, 21,17721,177, 21,46521,465, 22,19422,194, 20,83420,834, 21,71721,717, 21,61321,613, 21,61921,619, 21,22321,223, 20,53220,532, 21,19521,195

This data set appears to have large numbers that seem repeated (like 20,40720,407). I believe there may be a typo or formatting issue. Please confirm if this is the intended data or provide the correct values.

### Data Set B:
**Data:**
4.26, 4.00, 4.01, 4.14, 3.60, 4.58, 2.94, 3.81, 3.78, 2.98, 3.50

Let's proceed with **Data Set B** first since it’s formatted correctly.

#### Step 1: Calculate the mean (\(\mu\)) for Data Set B.

\[
\mu = \frac{4.26 + 4.00 + 4.01 + 4.14 + 3.60 + 4.58 + 2.94 + 3.81 + 3.78 + 2.98 + 3.50}{11}
\]

\[
\mu = \frac{41.60}{11} = 3.782
\]

#### Step 2: Calculate the standard deviation (\(\sigma\)) for Data Set B.

\[
\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{1}{11} \sum (x_i - \mu)^2}
\]

Calculating the squared differences from the mean:

\[
(4.26 - 3.782)^2 = 0.230 \\
(4.00 - 3.782)^2 = 0.047 \\
(4.01 - 3.782)^2 = 0.051 \\
(4.14 - 3.782)^2 = 0.126 \\
(3.60 - 3.782)^2 = 0.033 \\
(4.58 - 3.782)^2 = 0.635 \\
(2.94 - 3.782)^2 = 0.711 \\
(3.81 - 3.782)^2 = 0.0008 \\
(3.78 - 3.782)^2 = 0.000004 \\
(2.98 - 3.782)^2 = 0.640 \\
(3.50 - 3.782)^2 = 0.079 \\
\]

Sum of squared differences:

\[
0.230 + 0.047 + 0.051 + 0.126 + 0.033 + 0.635 + 0.711 + 0.0008 + 0.000004 + 0.640 + 0.079 = 2.5028
\]

Now, calculate the standard deviation:

\[
\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{2.5028}{11}} = \sqrt{0.2275} = 0.477
\]

#### Step 3: Calculate the coefficient of variation (CV) for Data Set B.

\[
CV = \left( \frac{0.477}{3.782} \right) \times 100 = 12.6\%
\]

---

**Summary for Data Set B:**
- Mean (\(\mu\)): 3.782
- Standard Deviation (\(\sigma\)): 0.477
- Coefficient of Variation (CV): **12.6%**
