Question 9 (4 Marks) Determine the mode speed of the 60 motorists caught speeding.

a) 192.5 km per hour

b) 188.5 km per hour

c) 181.6 km per hour

d) 180.8 km per hour

Question 10 (4 Marks) Determine the standard deviation and the coefficient of variation of the data.

a) The standard deviation = 28.2 km per hour and the coefficient of variation = 15.4 km per hour.

b) The standard deviation = 32.1 km per hour and the coefficient of variation = 17.5 km per hour.

c) The standard deviation = 28.2 km per hour and the coefficient of variation = 17.5 km per hour.

d) The standard deviation = 32.1 km per hour and the coefficient of variation = 15.4 km per hour
