Another measure of variability for numeric data is the coefficient of variation.

It is calculated as follows:

Being a dimensionless quantity, the coefficient of variation is a useful statistic for comparing the spread among several datasets, even if the means are different from one another (a), or data have different units (b), or data refer to different variables (c).

The higher the coefficient of variation, the higher the variability.
