Solution

The coefficient of variation is calculated as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, and it is usually expressed in percentage.

For the weight of the selected group, the mean is 72 kg and the standard deviation is 8 kg.

So, the coefficient of variation for the weight is (8/72)*100 = 11.11%

Therefore, the correct answer is c. 11.11%.
