Statistics
Coefficient of Variation Calculator
Compute the coefficient of variation (CV), a dimensionless measure of relative variability defined as the standard deviation divided by the mean, expressed as a percentage. Used to compare variability across datasets with different units, magnitudes, or context — investment risk, biological variability, measurement precision.

Statistics
Mean Calculator
Compute the arithmetic mean (average) of any comma-separated list of numbers — the most common measure of central tendency in statistics. The result is the sum divided by the count, equivalent to balancing a see-saw of the data points.
