Consider the following two data sets.

A : 12 25 37 8 41
B : 17 30 42 13 46

Note that each value of the second data set is obtained by adding 5 to the corresponding
value of the first data set.

deviation is 7. The mean of the commissions is $3225, and the standard deviation is $673.
4. Compute the coefficients of variations
