A plumbing supplier’s mean monthly demand for vinyl washers is 24,212
with a standard deviation of 6,053. The mean monthly demand for steam boilers is 6.8 with
a standard deviation of 1.7. Compare the dispersion of these distributions. Which demand
pattern has more relative variation? Explain.

Grace took a random sample of the number of steps per minute from the electronic readout of her aerobic climbing machine during a 1-hour workout.
(a) Calculate the
mean = 95.133....,
median = 90
mode = none
(b) Which is the best measure of central tendency? The worst?
best: mean
worst: mode
-------------------------
A plumbing supplier’s mean monthly demand for vinyl washers is 24,212
with a standard deviation of 6,053.
---
Standard deviation is 1/4 of the mean.
---
The mean monthly demand for steam boilers is 6.8 with a standard deviation of
The standard deviation is more that 1/4 of the mean.
----
1.7. Compare the dispersion of these distributions.
Which demand pattern has more relative variation? Explain.
Comment: Strange question. You might compare the box-plots.
