# Coefficient of Variation Calculator

Instructions: In order to use this Coefficient of Variation, please provide the sample data below and this solver will provide step-by-step calculation of the CV:

Type the sample (comma or space separated)
Name of the variable (Optional)

The Coefficient of Variation (CV in short) is a typical measure of variation, which measures the relative variation in a sample with respect to the size of the mean. Indeed, it consider the size of the sample standard deviation in relative terms to the sample mean. The larger the CV, the more disperse the sample is, at least in relative terms.

The coefficient of variation is computed using the following formula

$CV= \frac{ s}{ \bar X}$
