The coefficient of performance (see Wikipedia article on "coefficient of performance") is a measure of merit for a refrigerator. To understand what it is telling us, we need to understand what a refrigerator does. Heat flows naturally from a hot region to a cold region. Even though your kitchen refrigerator is insulated to minimize the heat flow, without the machinery, the inside would gradually warm up to the temperature of the room. To keep the inside cold, the refrigerator must counter the natural flow by moving heat from the colder region inside the refrigerator to the outside. We have to put energy (usually electrical work) into the refrigerator to accomplish this.
If the inside were warmer than the outside, it would take no work to remove heat from the inside. The warmer inside would pass heat to the colder outside naturally. If the inside is just a little colder than the outside, it would take just a little work to move heat from inside to outside. As the temperature difference you wish to maintain increases, so does the work needed. But when we deal with thermodynamics, we must use absolute temperatures. If the temperature of the room is 68 degrees Fahrenheit, that is 20 degrees Celcius, or 293 degrees Kelvin. (The Kelvin temperature scale starts at absolute zero) If the temperature inside the freezer compartment is -5 degrees Celcius, that would be 268 Kelvin. The difference of 25 degrees is less than a tenth the lower absolute temperature. So in essence, this is the case of a small temperature difference.
The coefficient of performance is the ratio of the heat removed at the colder temperature to the work required to do it. Like many other figures of merit (the efficiency of an engine, the miles per gallon your car gets, ) the coefficient of performance measures the ratio of what you get (heat moved out of the box) to what you have to pay for (work from the electric company). But unlike the efficiency of an engine, the number can be greater than one. Because the temperature difference is small compared to the absolute temperature of the box, the energy expended to run the refrigerator is less than the energy moved from the inside to the outside.

No, the coefficient of static friction is typically greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
It would require greater force to start a refrigerator moving than a book because the refrigerator has more mass and therefore more inertia to overcome. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia and thus the greater the force needed to overcome it.
Hi: Who told you it was always greater than one and what was their reasoning ? If they are operating outside of their design parameters and there fore useless for the job at hand I would consider their coefficient of performance totally rubbish. Hope this helps : Jimiwane
Yes, a coefficient of friction can exceed 1. This can happen in cases where the force required to move an object is greater than the maximum force that can be provided by the contact surface. This would result in a coefficient of friction greater than 1.

A higher coefficient of friction indicates that two surfaces in contact have a greater resistence. A lower coefficient of friction indicates that the two surfaces in contact have less resistence. Soccer cleats on grass have a greater coefficient of friction than skates on ice.

The coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and must be overcome to start moving, leading to a higher coefficient compared to kinetic friction, which occurs when an object is already in motion.

Yes, it is possible for the coefficient of friction to exceed 1 in a given scenario. This can happen when the force required to move an object is greater than the force pressing the object against the surface, resulting in a coefficient of friction greater than 1.
No. A correlation coefficient cannot be less than -1 (or greater than +1)
