    The sum of square of deviation for 10 observations taken from 50 is 250. The coefficient of variance is:

    A)  10%                          

    B)  20%

    C)  30%                            

    D)  40%

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\because \] Coefficient of variance \[=\frac{\sigma }{\overline{x}}\times 100\] \[\because x=\]mean of the observation \[\sigma =\]standard deviation \[\therefore \sigma =\sqrt{\frac{\sum {{(x-50)}^{2}}}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{250}{10}}=\sqrt{25}=5.\] \[\therefore \]Coefficient of variance \[=\frac{\sigma }{\overline{x}}\times 100=\frac{5}{50}\times 100=10%\] Hence, option [a] is correct.
