Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate mean of heights
$\bar{x}_{heights}=\frac{77 + 73+79+73+74+77+80+68+80+67+72+75}{12}=\frac{885}{12}=73.75$
Step2: Calculate standard - deviation of heights
First, find the squared differences from the mean: $(77 - 73.75)^2+(73 - 73.75)^2+(79 - 73.75)^2+(73 - 73.75)^2+(74 - 73.75)^2+(77 - 73.75)^2+(80 - 73.75)^2+(68 - 73.75)^2+(80 - 73.75)^2+(67 - 73.75)^2+(72 - 73.75)^2+(75 - 73.75)^2$ $=3.25^2+(- 0.75)^2+5.25^2+(-0.75)^2+0.25^2+3.25^2+6.25^2+(-5.75)^2+6.25^2+(-6.75)^2+(-1.75)^2+1.25^2$ $ = 10.5625+0.5625 + 27.5625+0.5625+0.0625+10.5625+39.0625+33.0625+39.0625+45.5625+3.0625+1.5625$ $=211.25$ The standard - deviation $s_{heights}=\sqrt{\frac{211.25}{12 - 1}}=\sqrt{\frac{211.25}{11}}\approx4.39$
Step3: Calculate coefficient of variation of heights
$CV_{heights}=\frac{s_{heights}}{\bar{x}_{heights}}\times100%=\frac{4.39}{73.75}\times100%\approx5.8%$
Step4: Calculate mean of weights
$\bar{x}_{weights}=\frac{194 + 227+223+187+179+190+170+191+221+206+203+206}{12}=\frac{2397}{12}=199.75$
Step5: Calculate standard - deviation of weights
First, find the squared differences from the mean: $(194 - 199.75)^2+(227 - 199.75)^2+(223 - 199.75)^2+(187 - 199.75)^2+(179 - 199.75)^2+(190 - 199.75)^2+(170 - 199.75)^2+(191 - 199.75)^2+(221 - 199.75)^2+(206 - 199.75)^2+(203 - 199.75)^2+(206 - 199.75)^2$ $=(-5.75)^2+27.25^2+23.25^2+(-12.75)^2+(-20.75)^2+(-9.75)^2+(-29.75)^2+(-8.75)^2+21.25^2+6.25^2+3.25^2+6.25^2$ $=33.0625 + 742.5625+540.5625+162.5625+430.5625+95.0625+885.0625+76.5625+451.5625+39.0625+10.5625+39.0625$ $=3566.25$ The standard - deviation $s_{weights}=\sqrt{\frac{3566.25}{12 - 1}}=\sqrt{\frac{3566.25}{11}}\approx32.09$
Step6: Calculate coefficient of variation of weights
$CV_{weights}=\frac{s_{weights}}{\bar{x}_{weights}}\times100%=\frac{32.09}{199.75}\times100%\approx16.1%$ (There may be a small difference in rounding compared to the given value of 17.1% due to different rounding methods in intermediate steps)
Answer:
$CV_{heights}\approx5.8%$, $CV_{weights}\approx16.1%$ (approximate values based on calculations above)
