Question

You collected data from 84 adults in multiple villages on the distance they lived from school when they were attending primary school. You calculated the mean and standard deviation for the distance traveled to school to be 11 km and 5 km, respectively. You also calculated the mean income of their parents when these now adults were enrolled in primary school. The mean income of their parents was 100 West African Franc per week with a standard deviation of 10 Franc. (i) Compare the variation in the distance traveled to primary school and the income of the parents of this sample of adults. Explain why you choose this method to compare the variations? (ii) Suppose you are asked to compare the variation in distance traveled to school by children living in urban and rural areas in Burkina Faso, explain the most appropriate statistic to use. (iii) Suppose you are asked to compare the variation in housing rental prices in your country measured in local currency to housing rental prices of the United States, explain the most appropriate statistic to use.
