1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to find the mean and coefficient of variation for the given data. The data represents sales in different ranges, along with their relative frequencies and actual frequencies.
2. Solution Steps
First, we calculate the midpoint () of each sales range. This is given in the table already.
Second, we multiply each midpoint () by its frequency () to get . This is also given in the table.
Third, we calculate the mean, which is the sum of the values divided by the sum of the frequencies.
From the image, .
The sum of the frequencies is .
So,
Next, we need to compute the standard deviation to find the coefficient of variation. To do that we need .
:
The variance is given by
The coefficient of variation (CV) is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, expressed as a percentage:
3. Final Answer
Mean = 101.40
Coefficient of Variation = 8.98%
