Coefficient of variation is denoted by C.V. and is calculated as:[br]   [math] C.V. = \frac{\sigma}{\overline{x} } \times 100\% [/math][br]Greater the coefficient of variation, greater will be the variation and less will be the consistency or uniformity. Less the C.V., greater will be the consistency or uniformity. For the consistency or uniformity of distribution, we use the C.V. So, C.V. is used to compare given distributions.[br][br][color=#ff0000][b][size=150]Variance:[/size][/b][/color][br] The square of standard deviation(σ) is called variation.
