Is it possible to calculate the coefficient of variation using relative values instead of absolute values?

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.
Is it possible for a coefficient of variation to be negative Explain.?
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.
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?
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.
Is it possible to have a negative absolute pressure?
No. "Absolute" means non-negative.
Where possible identify the variable numerical coefficient and constant in each expression 7a-8?
15
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 to achieve absolute zero?
"Nothing is absolute, everything is relative"... Einstein
What is disciplinary variation in academia?
Disciplinary variation is quite simply the variety of subjects that a student can take or that it is possible to take.
Is it possible to determine the absolute density of the different solutions?
Yes, it is possible.
