Abstract
The estimator (c.v.) of the coefficient of variation (V) has been so far studied for infinite populations and normal populations only. The present paper deals with the estimator of the coefficient of variation for finite populations. The bias, upper limit, of the bias, variance and the estimate of the variance of the estimator c.v. has been obtained when the sampling is done with simple random sampling.
