## How to Calculate the Coefficient of Variation

### Formula

**CV = (Standard Deviation / |Mean|) * 100%**

The CV is a dimensionless measure of relative variability. It allows comparison of spread across datasets with different units or vastly different means. A CV of 10% means the standard deviation is 10% of the mean.

计算示例

A dataset has a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 5. Find the CV.

  1. CV = (5 / |50|) * 100%
  2. CV = 0.10 * 100%
  3. CV = 10%
