Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Harsh by 2.5 Given: Number of followers gained by Harsh in a day = 230 Number of followers gained by Ashish in a day = 240 Standard Deviation for Harsh = 2.3 Standard Deviation for Ashish = 1.2 Number of platforms = 5 Formula used: Mean = (sum of observations)/(number of observations) Coefficient of variation = (SD/Mean) × 100 where, SD = Standard deviation Calculation: For Harsh, Mean = 230/5 = 46 Coefficient of variation = (2.3/46) × 100 ⇒ Coefficient of variation for Harsh= 1/20 × 100 = 5 For Ashish, Mean = 240/5 = 48 Coefficient of variation = (1.2/48) × 100 ⇒ Coefficient of variation for Ashish = 1/40 × 100 = 2.5 Difference between their coefficient of variation = 5 – 2.5 = 2.5 ∴ Harsh is more consistent and their difference is 2.5 |
