Program for Coefficient of variation

Given an array of size n and the task is to find Coefficient of variation . Coefficient of variation is the ratio of standard deviation and mean. The main purpose of coefficient of variation is to find study of quality assurance by measuring the dispersion of the population data of a probability or frequency distribution, or by determining the content or quality of the sample data of substances. The method of measuring the ratio of standard deviation to mean is also known as relative standard deviation often abbreviated as RSD.

Examples :

Input : arr[] = {60.25, 62.38, 65.32, 61.41, 63.23}
Output : 0.0307144

Input : arr[] = {15, 36, 53.67, 25.45, 67.8, 56, 78.09}
Output : 0.48177

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Approach:

Coefficient of Variation = Standard deviation / mean 
Example:
arr[] = {60.25, 62.38, 65.32, 61.41, 63.23}
mean = 62.518
Standard Deviation = 1.9202
Coefficient of Variation = Standard deviation / mean
                         = 1.9202 / 62.518
                         = 0.0307144

Below is the implementation of the above formula :

C++

// Program to find coefficient of  
// variation of given array. 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Function to find mean of given array. 
float mean(float arr[], int n) 
{ 
    float sum = 0; 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
        sum = sum + arr[i]; 
    return sum / n; 
} 
  
// Function to find standard deviation  
// of given array. 
float standardDeviation(float arr[], int n) 
{ 
    float sum = 0; 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
        sum = sum + (arr[i] - mean(arr, n)) * 
                    (arr[i] - mean(arr, n)); 
  
    return sqrt(sum / (n - 1)); 
} 
  
// Function to find coefficient of variation. 
float coefficientOfVariation(float arr[], int n) 
{ 
   return standardDeviation(arr, n) / mean(arr, n); 
} 
  
// Driver Program 
int main() 
{ 
    float arr[] = { 15, 36, 53.67, 25.45,  
                    67.8, 56, 78.09 }; 
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]); 
    cout << coefficientOfVariation(arr, n); 
    return 0; 
}
