A sample of 50 pieces of pears was selected randomly from the production of the plant breeding institute. The weights of these pears are recorded in the table.  Weight (g)  Number of pears 26 -- 30831 -- 351436 -- 401541 -- 45946 -- 504 Calculate the variance of pear weights and round the variance to the nearest hundredth. (To solve the task with help of calculator is recommended.)

We want to compare the performances of two javelin throwers in one competition. Throws of Alex and Martin (in meters) are recorded in the following table. Calculate the coefficient of variation for each set of results and determine, which of the athletes has more balanced performance. I.e. choose the name of the athlete with more balanced performance and with the correct coefficient of variation (%) of his throws. The coefficient of variation is rounded to two decimal places.

There are two groups, A and B, of students in German language class. Each group consists of 15 students. In the tables, down each column, a student’s ID and grade from the mid-year’s grade report are listed. The students are evaluated according to the grading scale from 1 to 5, while 1 is the best grade and 5 is the worst one. Calculate the coefficient of variation of grades for each group and determine in which group the grades are more balanced. I.e. choose the name of the group with more balanced grades and with the correct coefficient of variation (%) of grades. The value of the coefficient of variation is rounded to two decimal places.

In the tables below the absent hours in lessons of 16 boys and 14 girls from one class for half of a year are listed. Use the variance of the number of absent hours to find out the students of which gender had the absence more balanced. I.e. choose the group with more balanced absence and the correct variance of the number of absent hours. The variance is rounded to two decimal places.

The students are evaluated according to the grading scale from 1 to 5, while 1 is the best grade and 5 is the worst one. In the pictures, there are visualizations of relative frequencies of grades in Math, which students of two groups (A and B) had in their year-class-reports. Calculate the variance of grades for each group of students and determine, in which group student performances of Math knowledge are more balanced. I.e. from the offered choices choose the group, which has more balanced grades and with the correct variance of grades. The variance is rounded to two decimal places.
A: 0.81
B: 0.84
A: 0.90

Two students performed repeated measurements of the same length. After evaluating statistical characteristics they got equal means of the length. Which of the following statement is true? (Remark: The accuracy is determined by the coefficient of variation.)
There is not enough information to compare the accuracy of both measurements.
One of the students measured with a better accuracy than the other.
Both students did their measurements with the same accuracy.
