To find the variance given the coefficient of variation (CV) and the mean, we can use the following relationship:
The formula for the coefficient of variation (CV) is given by:
CV=‌×100where
σ is the standard deviation and
µ is the mean.
In this problem, the coefficient of variation is 25 , and the mean
(µ) is 44 . Substituting these values into the equation, we have:
‌×100=25Solving for
σ, we get:
σ=‌=11The variance
(σ2) is the square of the standard deviation:
σ2=112=121Therefore, the variance is 121 .
