Suppose the mean of a sample is 1.72 metres, and the standard deviation of the sample is 3.44 metres. (Notice that the sample mean and the standard deviation will always have the same units.)

Then the coefficient of variation will be 1.72 metres / 3.44 metres = 0.5.

The units in the mean and standard deviation 'cancel out'-always.

Correlation coefficient value mean?

The correlation coefficient is a measure of linear association between two (or more) variables. It does not measure non-linear relationships nor does it say anything about causality.

What is interassay coefficient of variation?

The formula for coefficient of variation is %CV = standard deviation/mean X 100 (CV's are reported in percentage form). So say you're testing for fibrinogen in blood, and you run your standards or your controls three times. The INTRAassay CV is the CV for the three sets of standards in that one assay. You would calcuate the mean and standard deviation for Standard 1, Standard 2, etc. and come up with the CV for each and then average the CVs of each standard to come up with the intraassay CV. This shows the amount of variation among the standards for that one test. Now say you run a set of blood samples on Monday and then run another set on Tuesday with a second set of plates or wells. The INTERassay CV is the amount of variation between the standards you used on Monday and the standards you used on Tuesday. You would calculate the mean and standard deviation for Standard 1 (Day 1 and Day 2), Standard 2 (Day 1 and Day 2), etc. to come up with the CV for each and then average the CVs like before. This gives you the interassay CV. A lot of ELISAs will actually calculate the CV of each standard for you.

What are facts about coefficient in math terms?

Yes!The word "coefficient" usually refers to the number part of a term.Some examples:The coefficient in 7x is 7.The coefficient in -2y4z3 is -2.The coefficient in b2c3d4 is 1 (because you can think of there being a '1' in front)In the polynomial x3 + 4x2y - 5xy2 + 6y3, the coefficient of xy2 is -5.Technically, you could say that in the term 27fg4, 27 is the numerical coefficient, and fg4 is the literal coefficient.

What is the coefficient of x in 3xy?

-3xy is a monomial where x and y are variables and -3 is the coefficient of the monomial.If we know the value of y, we have to substitute it for y, and we say that -3(y-value) is the coefficient of x.


How many coefficients are in -3x3 plus x2 plus 17 plus 6X4?

- 3X3 + X2 + 17 + 6X4 - 3 = coefficient of the variable term X3 6 = coefficient of the variable term X4 ----------------------------------------------------------- I do not know how you are being taught, but...... 1 = the implied coefficient of the variable term X2 S0 I would say three coefficients, but your teacher may say two. Consult your text on the implied coefficient 1.
