答案和详解如下: Q1. Which of the following statements regarding various statistical measures is least accurate?
A) The coefficient of variation is calculated by dividing the mean by the standard deviation. B) The correlation coefficient is calculated by dividing the covariance of two random variables by the product of their standard deviations. C) Variance equals the sum of the squared deviations from the mean times the probability that that each outcome will occur. Correct answer is A) The coefficient of variation equals the standard deviation divided by the mean. Q2. Use the results from the following survey of 500 firms to answer the question.
