Question Find the coefficient of variation for a set of $10$ systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements (in $\mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}$). The coefficient of variation for the systolic measurements is $\square \%$.

Studdy Solution
Compute the coefficient of variation for the diastolic measurements.
$$CV_{diastolic} = \left( \frac{11.22}{73.1} \right) \times 100\% \approx 15.3\%$$
The coefficient of variation for the systolic measurements is $14.7\%$ and for the diastolic measurements is $15.3\%$. Comparing the two, the diastolic measurements have a slightly higher coefficient of variation, indicating a slightly higher relative variability in the diastolic blood pressure measurements compared to the systolic measurements.
