different variances

● If the S.D. of group A < the S.D. of group B, then group A is considered more
consistent or uniform.

Coefficient of Variation Variance of first n natural numbers

Variance of first n natural numbers = n2 -1 / 12

Variance of first n odd natural numbers = n2 -1 / 3

The series having greater C.V. is said to be more variable or conversely less
consistent, less uniform, less stable, less homogeneous
Variance of first n even natural numbers = n2 -1 / 3
