Coefficient of Variation (3)
- Example 1: Weight loss programs A and B.
- 2 different programs with the same goal and target population.
- While program B averages more weight loss, it also has less consistent results.
| A | B | |
| Mean<br />(weight loss per month) | 20 | 25 |
| Standard deviation | 15 | 30 |
