Question

The number of runs scored by two batsmen A and B in different innings are as follows.

A	12	115	6	73	7	19	119	36	84	29
B	47	12	76	42	4	51	37	48	13	0

(i) Who is better run scorer? 

(ii) Who is more consistant?

Answer 1

Let x₁ and x₂ be the runs of batsmen A and B.

(i) Here X̄₁(batsman A) > X̄₂ (batsman B) 

So batsman A is the better run scorer.

Here CV₂ (batsman B) < CV₁, (batsman A) 

∴ Batsman B is more consistant.
