The resulting value of multiplying the arithmetic mean (µ) by the coefficient of variation (CV) is closely related to the standard deviation (σ) of the data set.
Here's why:
Coefficient of Variation (CV): CV is a unitless measure of relative dispersion. It's calculated as the ratio of the standard deviation (σ) to the mean (µ): CV = σ / µ.
Multiplication: When you multiply the mean (µ) by the CV, you're essentially multiplying the mean by (σ / µ). This simplifies to σ, the standard deviation.
Therefore, multiplying the arithmetic mean by the coefficient of variation results in a value that represents the standard deviation (σ).
