Question

"The average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment in City A is $820 with a standard deviation of $86. The average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment in City B is $790 with a standard deviation of $75. Based on this data, we can conclude that the rent for two-bedroom apartments in City A is more consistent when compared to City B." Ture/false

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

 We shall apply the concept of coefficient of variation to know the consistency of data

coefficient of variation

= standard deviation / mean or average

In case of City A

coefficient of variation  = 86 / 820

= .1048

In case of City B

coefficient of variation  = 75 / 790

= .0949

Since it is less for city B , rent for this city is more consistence or with less of variation

So the conclusion  is false.
