Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The relative measure of dispersion is ____
A
Range
B
Standard Deviation
C
Coefficient of variation
D
Variance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Coefficient of variation is one of the commonest ways of calculating the relative dispersion. It is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean multiplied by 100 to make a percentage. The value can be used to compare various data sets and their variance.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is the Coefficient of Variation? The coefficient of variation (relative standard deviation) is a statistical measure of the dispersion of data points around the mean. The metric is commonly used to compare the data dispersion between distinct series of data.

Detailed explanation-3: -Variance is an absolute measure of dispersion.
