Let X = 1 if termites are present in a building and X = 0 if they are not.

Let Y = 1 if a test indicates the presence of termites in that building and Y = 0 if it does not.

The joint probabilities of X and Y are:

  • P[X=0, Y=0] = 0.90
  • P[X=1, Y=0] = 0.01
  • P[X=0, Y=1] = 0.05
  • P[X=1, Y=1] = 0.04

Calculate the coefficient of variation for Y.

  • A) 0.31
  • B) 0.91
  • C) 0.95
  • D) 3.18
