A sample of blood pressure measurements is taken for a group of adults, and those values (mm Hg) are listed below. The values are matched so that 10 subjects each have a systolic and diastolic measurement. Find the coefficient of variation for each of the two samples; then compare the variation.

The coefficient of variation for the systolic measurements is
nothing%.
The coefficient of variation for the diastolic measurements is
nothing%.
Compare the variation.
The coefficients of variation for each data set are = within 5 percentage points of each other more than 5 percentage points apart, Therefore, the systolic measurements vary
▼about the same as = significantly more than, significantly, less than the diastolic measurements.
coefficient of variation for the systolic measurements is =14.5 % (please try 14.52 % if required to 2 decimals)
coefficient of variation for the diastolic measurements is =17.5 %(please try 17.52 % if required to 2 decimals)
The coefficients of variation for each data set are within 5 percentage points of each other
Therefore, the systolic measurements vary about the same as diastolic measurements.
