.A group of 10 drivers reported the number of hours they devoted in driving their jeepneys for a
particular 10-day period as follows: 6, 8, 10, 12, 7, 5, 14, 10, 9, and 11. Calculate the coefficient of
variation for these working hours.
The following data represent the number of drivers involved in a fatal crash in 2016 in various light and weather conditions. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
