Using coefficient of variation, it is found that the distribution of customers on line for the bumper-car ride is more spread out, due to the higher coefficient of variation.
-------------------
- The coefficient of variation is given by the division of the standard deviation by the mean.
- The higher the coefficient, the more spread out the distribution is.
-------------------
- For the distribution of newly manufactured amusement park bumper cars, the mean is of 400 pounds and standard deviation is of 2 pounds, thus the coefficient is [tex]\frac{2}{400} = 0.005[/tex]
- For the distribution of customers on line for the bumper-car ride, the mean is of 60 pounds and the standard deviation is of 2 pounds, thus, the coefficient is [tex]\frac{2}{60} = 0.0333[/tex].
- Due to the higher coefficient, the distribution of customers on line is more spread out.
