    If runs of two players A and B in 10 cricket matches are such that player A has mean 50 and variance 36 and player B has mean 60 and variance 81 of runs, then the player more consistent in runs is

    A) A

    B) B

    C) both are equally consistent

    D) None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given that, mean and variance of players A and B are \[\overline{{{X}_{1}}}=50\sigma _{1}^{2}=36\,\,or\,\,{{\sigma }_{1}}=6\] and        \[\overline{{{X}_{2}}}=60\sigma _{2}^{2}=81\,\,or\,\,{{\sigma }_{2}}=9\] From the following formula, we can check consistency coefficient of variation \[=\frac{SD}{Mean}\times 100\] Therefore, coefficient of variation of player A \[=\frac{{{\sigma }_{1}}}{{{X}_{2}}}\times 100=\frac{6}{50}\times 100=12%\] and coefficient of variation of player B \[=\frac{{{\sigma }_{2}}}{{{X}_{2}}}=\frac{9}{60}\times 100=15%\] Since, coefficient of variation of player A is less, hence it is more consistent in comparison to player B.
