OBJECTIVES:
• Interpret the mean and variance of a discrete
random variable; and
Interpretation of Results:
1. The coefficient of variation for Dealer A is 16.91% of the mean.
2. The coefficient of variation for Dealer B is 23.9% of the mean.
3. Dealer B is 7% more variable than Dealer A
4. Using CV as a measure of variability, it reveals the size of
consistency relative to the size of the mean (in percentage),
therefore, Dealer A is the best Dealer of the Year.
