Q38 of 46 Page 278

Coefficient of variation of two distributions are 50 and 60, and their arithmetic means are 30 and 25 respectively. Difference of their standard deviation is

Given Coefficient of variation of two distributions are

CV1=50 and CV2=60


And there arithmetic means are



We know Coefficient of variation can be written as



Now for first distribution, we have



Substituting corresponding values, we get






σ1=15………(i)


Now for second distribution, we have



Substituting corresponding values, we get





σ2=15………(ii)


So from equation (i) and (ii), the difference of their standard deviation is 0.
