Question

Listed below are the number of tech-supported questions successfully answered each day by misty and brock over a one week period, who is the more consistent employee?

Misty: 11,13,12,14,10,16,14
Brock: 8,15,10,11,16,10,9

Answer 1

Misty is the more consistent employee

Explanation:

The given data are

Misty: 11, 13, 12, 14, 10, 16, 14

Brock: 8, 15, 10, 11, 16, 10, 9

The mean of Misty's successfully answered questions = ∑x/n = 90/7 = 12.86

Misty's data standard deviation = √(∑(x - μ)²/n) = 1.884

The mean of Brock's successfully answered questions = ∑x/n = 79/7 = 11.29

Brock's data standard deviation = √(∑(x - μ)²/n) = 2.81

Therefore, based on the value of the standard deviation which is a measure of variability, whereby the standard deviation of Brock's number of successfully answered questions is larger than the standard deviation of Misty's number of tech supported successfully answered questions, Misty is the more consistent employee.
