Guide to quality:
The Coefficient of Variation (CV) indicates the quality of a figure, the smaller the CV value the higher the quality. The true value is likely to lie within +/- twice the CV - for example, for an average of 200 with a CV of 5%, we would expect the population average to be within the range 180 to 220.
Key
CV <= 5%
* CV >5% and <=l0%
** CV > 10% and <=20%
x CV > 20%
