Given that the mean of a set of data is 25 and the standard deviation is 3, what would be the coefficient of variation?
A) 0.12
B) $12 \%$
C) 8.33
D) $833 \%$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coefficient of variation (CV) is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, expressed as a percentage.

CV = (Standard deviation / Mean) x 100%

Substituting the values given in the question, we get:

CV = (3 / 25) x 100%

CV = 0.12 x 100%

CV = 12%

Therefore, the answer is B.
