Calculating Coefficient of Variation from Goals Scored

Very Hard Data Analysis Descriptive Statistics

A researcher collected the following dataset representing the number of goals scored by a soccer team in 15 matches:

Goals: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8

Based on this dataset, what is the coefficient of variation (CV) for the number of goals scored? The coefficient of variation is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation ($$s$$) to the mean ($$ar{x}$$), expressed as a percentage: $$CV = \f\frac{s}{\bar{x}} \times 100$$.
