So for this case we have more variation for the data of systolic on left compared to the data systolic on right but the difference is not big since 0.170-0.147 = 0.023.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the following data:
Systolic (#'s on right) Diastolic (#'s on left)
117; 80
126; 77
158; 76
96; 51
157; 90
122; 89
116; 60
134; 64
127; 72
122; 83
The coefficient of variation is defined as " a statistical measure of the dispersion of data points in a data series around the mean" and is defined as:
And the best estimator is
Systolic on right
We can calculate the mean and deviation with the following formulas:
[te]\bar x = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}[/tex]
For this case we have the following values:
So then the coeffcient of variation is given by:
Systolic on left
For this case we have the following values:
So then the coeffcient of variation is given by:
So for this case we have more variation for the data of systolic on left compared to the data systolic on right but the difference is not big since 0.170-0.147 = 0.023.
