Fretting is a wear process that results from tangential oscillatory movements of small amplitude in machine parts. The article "Grease Effect on Fretting Wear of Mild Steel" (Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, 2008: 67-78) included the following data on volume wear (10-4mm3) for base oils having four different viscosities.
Fretting is a wear process that results from tangential oscillatory

a. The sample coefficient of variation 100s/ assesses the extent of variability relative to the mean (specifically, the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean). Calculate the coefficient of variation for the sample at each viscosity. Then compare the results and comment.
b. Construct a comparative boxplot of the data and comment on interesting features.
