CV compares the spread of datasets with different units or scales.

The math behind it

CV = standard deviation ÷ mean × 100. Lower means more consistent data.

Worked Example

σ 15, mean 100 → CV 15%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use CV?

It's unitless, so you can compare variability across different measurements.
