MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1
Which one of the following coefficients of variation (CV) is an indication of the better precision of the experiment?
  • Coefficient of Variation (CV) as a Metric of Experimental Precision:
  • Definition: The Coefficient of Variation represents experimental error expressed as a percentage of the general experimental mean:
$$\text{CV (\%)} = \frac{\sqrt{\text{Error Mean Square}}}{\bar{X}} \times 100$$
  • Quality Thresholds in Field Research: A lower CV signifies lower residual experimental error and higher experimental precision. In field crop and agricultural pathology trials, a $\mathbf{CV \lt 20\%}$ indicates reliable, high-precision experiments; values $\gt 20-30\%$ suggest high environmental noise, erratic infestation, or experimental inconsistency.
  • Conclusion: A $\text{CV} \lt 20\%$ indicates better precision (Option 1).

Correct option: (1) <20%
