Calculation path
Express standard deviation relative to the magnitude of a nonzero mean. The page evaluates the displayed equation from your supplied values and presents both symbolic and substituted KaTeX working so the arithmetic can be checked.
Calculation path
CV = (sigma / |mu|) x 100%
What you receive
What you receive
- Coefficient of variation in % from the stated equation
- A symbolic formula plus substituted working with your values
- Visible assumptions, field guidance, and an authoritative learning reference
Use boundary
Choose the maximum decimal places shown. This does not increase source accuracy.
Comparison is most useful for ratio-scale data with a meaningful nonzero mean.
Use internally consistent units and retain extra precision when carrying the result into another calculation.
