The coefficient of variation is 20%

The lower limit is 9 and the upper limit is 21

How to calculate the coefficient of variation

Given the following parameters

  • Sample mean "x" = 15
  • standard deviation 's" = 3

The coefficient of variation is expressed as:
coefficient of variation = s/x  * 100

coefficient of variation = 3/15 * 100

coefficient of variation = = 20%

Hence the coefficient of variation is 20%

The formula for the Chebyshev interval is given as:

[tex](x- 3k, x + 3k)[/tex]

Get the value of k using the formula below:

[tex]0.75=1-\frac{1}{k^2}\\ 0.25 = \frac{1}{k^2} \\k^2= \frac{1}{0.25} \\k = 2[/tex]

Get the required interval

[tex](15- 3(2), 15 + 3(2))\\(9,21)[/tex]

Hence the lower limit is 9 and the upper limit is 21
