Yes, you can have a negative coefficient in a direct variation. So if you had y = -7x, that would be a direct variation.

If you have y = -x, I do not know, if that is what you mean.

Hope it helped.

Is it possible for a coefficient of variation to be negative?

Of course it is! If the mean of a set of data is negative, then the coefficient of variation will be negative.

How do you calculate coefficient of variation?

The coefficient of variation is usually calculated by diving the standard deviation by the mean of a particular set of data. The coefficient of variation is usually expressed as CV.


What is coefficient variation?

Is the problem y equals 3x a direct variation if so what is the constant of variation?

y=3x is a direct variation in that y varies directly with x by a factor of 3. Any linear equation (a polynomial of degree 1, which is a polynomial equation with a highest exponent of 1), is a direct variation of y to x by some constant, and this constant is simply the coefficient of the "x" term. Other examples: y=(1/2)x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is 1/2 y=-9x is a direct variation, and the constant of variation is -9


What does it mean if the mean is doubled but the standard deviation is the same?

The second set of numbers are less variable; the coefficient of variation is halved. The second set of numbers are less variable; the coefficient of variation is halved. The second set of numbers are less variable; the coefficient of variation is halved. The second set of numbers are less variable; the coefficient of variation is halved.


Can a coefficient of a variable be negative?

Yes, a coefficient of a variable can be negative.


What is the meaning of CVS?

coefficient of variation


Coefficient of variation is a measure of relative variation. True or False?

True


What does the coefficient of the variation tell you?

The CV is a way to summarize the variation of results from the mean.
