Math Problem Statement
Listed below are amounts (in millions of dollars) collected from parking meters by a security service company and other companies during similar time periods. Do the limited data listed here show evidence of stealing by the security service company's employees? Security Service Company: 1.5 1.8 1.4 1.6 1.6 1.5 1.7 1.6 1.4 1.8
Other Companies: 1.7 1.9 1.6 1.8 1.7 1.9 1.7 1.5 1.8 1.6 Find the coefficient of variation for each of the two samples, then compare the variation.
