Determining the Coefficient of Uniformity (Cu) and Coefficient of Curvature (Cc) only has meaning when classifying coarse-grained soils, i.e. clean gravels (GW or GP) and clean sands (SW or SP) having more than 50% of material larger than No. 200 sieve with less than 5% fines. Gravels and sands with more than 12% fines (GM, GC, SM, SC) are distinguished using Atterberg limits. There would be no reason to determine these coefficients for fine-grained soils (i.e. clay, silt and peat).

Is it possible to obtain a correlation coefficient of 1.5 for two sets of test scores?

No. Correlation coefficient is measured from +1 to -1. In addition, if the two sets of exam are exactly same, their correlation coefficient is +1.


Is it possible for a coefficient of variation of a set of data to be zero Explain.?

Yes it is. If all the observations have the same non-zero value then the coefficient of variation will be zero.

Can the greatest common factor ever be smaller than the smallest coefficient?

No. The smallest coefficient possible is 1, and the smallest GCF is also 1. You cannot have a common factor of zero.


What is it called when there are many different kinds of things around you?

Diversity is what describes the many different kinds of things that surround us. One of the opposites is uniformity. In uniformity, as many people and things look alike as possible. There's little choice in the kinds of people and things.
