Two distributions of data are being analyzed. Distribution A has a mean of 125 and a standard deviation equal to 50 Distribution B has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation equal to 2.0. Based on this information, use the coefficien of variation to determine which distribution has greater relative variation. Choose the correct answer below. A. Distribution B has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is greater than distribution A's. B. Distribution A has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is less than distribution B's. C. Distribution B has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is less than distribution A's. D. Distribution A has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is greater than distribution B's.

Question
Two distributions of data are being analyzed. Distribution A has a mean of 125 and a standard deviation equal to 50.
Distribution B has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation equal to 2.0. Based on this information, use the coefficient
of variation to determine which distribution has greater relative variation.
Choose the correct answer below.
A. Distribution B has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is greater than distribution A's.
B. Distribution A has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is less than distribution B's.
C. Distribution B has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is less than distribution A's.
O D. Distribution A has greater relative variation since its coefficient of variation is greater than distribution B's.
