The coefficient of variation should be computed only for data measured on a ratio scale, as the coefficient of variation may not have any meaning for data on an interval scale. Using relative values instead of absolute values can cause the formula to give an incorrect answer.

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.

What is the possible range of values for the coefficient of variation?

0% to 100%


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.


In Statistics what is a quantity that measures the variation of a population or sample relative to its mean?

Inter-quartile range, other percentile ranges, mean absolute variation, variance, standard error, standard deviation are all possible measures.


What percentage of variation in the criterion variable is accounted for by the predictor variable if the correlation between them is 50?

A correlation coefficient can only range from -1.0 to 1.0 so a 50 is not possible. Did you mean .5?


How do you calculate friction equals coefficient of friction X normal force when frictional force and coefficient force are variables not given?

Friction= (coefficient of friction)(normal reaction) If you don't have the friction or the coefficient of it I'm sure you must have been given something else. Could you add the exact question to the discussion ?


Is it possible for the coefficient of friction to have a negative value?

Yes, it is possible for the coefficient of friction to have a negative value in certain situations, such as when dealing with lubricated surfaces or materials with unique properties.


Is it possible to have a negative absolute pressure?

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.
