Here is  the correct computation of the question given.

Find the coefficient of variation for each of the two sets of data, then compare the variation. Round results to one decimal place. Listed below are the systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) for a sample of men aged 20-29 and for a sample of men aged 60-69.

Men aged 20-29:      117      122     129      118     131      123

Men aged 60-69:      130     153      141      125    164     139

Group of answer choices

a)

Men aged 20-29: 4.8%

Men aged 60-69: 10.6%

There is substantially more variation in blood pressures of the men aged 60-69.

b)

Men aged 20-29: 4.4%

Men aged 60-69: 8.3%

There is substantially more variation in blood pressures of the men aged 60-69.

c)

Men aged 20-29: 4.6%

Men aged 60-69: 10.2 %

There is substantially more variation in blood pressures of the men aged 60-69.

d)

Men aged 20-29: 7.6%

Men aged 60-69: 4.7%

There is more variation in blood pressures of the men aged 20-29.

Answer:

(c)

Men aged 20-29: 4.6%

Men aged 60-69: 10.2 %

There is substantially more variation in blood pressures of the men aged 60-69.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question:

The coefficient of variation can be determined by the relation:

coefficient \ of  \ variation = \dfrac{standard \ deviation}{mean}*100

We will need to determine the coefficient of variation both men age 20 - 29 and men age 60 -69

To start with;

The coefficient of men age 20 -29

Let's first find the mean and standard deviation before we can do that ;

SO .

Mean = \dfrac{\sum \limits^{n}_{i-1}x_i}{n}

Mean = \frac{117+122+129+118+131+123}{6}

Mean = \dfrac{740}{6}

Mean = 123.33

Standard deviation  = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum (x_i- \bar x)^2}{(n-1)} }

Standard deviation =\sqrt{\dfrac{(117-123.33)^2+(122-123.33)^2+...+(123-123.33)^2}{(6-1)} }

Standard deviation  = \sqrt{\dfrac{161.3334}{5}}

Standard deviation = \sqrt{32.2667}

Standard deviation = 5.68

The coefficient \ of  \ variation = \dfrac{standard \ deviation}{mean}*100

coefficient \ of  \ variation = \dfrac{5.68}{123.33}*100

Coefficient of variation = 4.6% for men age 20 -29

For men age 60-69 now;

Mean = \dfrac{\sum \limits^{n}_{i-1}x_i}{n}

Mean = \frac{   130 +    153    +  141  +    125 +   164  +   139}{6}

Mean = \dfrac{852}{6}

Mean = 142

Standard deviation  = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum (x_i- \bar x)^2}{(n-1)} }

Standard deviation =\sqrt{\dfrac{(130-142)^2+(153-142)^2+...+(139-142)^2}{(6-1)} }

Standard deviation  = \sqrt{\dfrac{1048}{5}}

Standard deviation = \sqrt{209.6}

Standard deviation = 14.48

The coefficient \ of  \ variation = \dfrac{standard \ deviation}{mean}*100

coefficient \ of  \ variation = \dfrac{14.48}{142}*100

Coefficient of variation = 10.2% for men age 60 - 69

Thus; Option C is correct.

Men aged 20-29: 4.6%

Men aged 60-69: 10.2 %

There is substantially more variation in blood pressures of the men aged 60-69.

A cylinder has a radius of 5 feet and a height of 8 feet. Which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of a cone t
Lilit [14]
The answer is 1 over 3(3.14)(5²)(8) 

The volume of the cylinder (V1) is:
V1 = π · r² · h                (r - radius, h - height)

The volume of the cone (V2) is:
V2 = 1/3 π · r² · h         (r - radius, h - height)

It is given:
r = 5 feet
h = 8 feet
π = 3.14

Therefore, the volume of the cone is:
V2 = 1/3 · 3.14 · 5² · 8   which is the same as 1 over 3(3.14)(5²)(8).

Which of these is a point-slope equation of the line that is perpendicular to y-25=2(x-10) and passes through (-3,7)
OLEGan [10]
Y = 2x +13

We know the slope to be 2 because lines that are parallel have the same slope. Then we can solve using slope-intercept form and  the known point. 

y = mx + b ----> Input known values
7 = (2)(-3) + b ---> Multiple
7 = -6 + b ----> Subtract 3 from both sides
13 = b

Now we can use the y-intercept found and the slope to write the equation above.
