Given:

Mean = (μ) = 25

coefficient of variation (CV) = 16

Formula used:

Coefficient of variation = (Standard Deviation / mean) × 100

Variance = (Standard Deviation)2

Calculation:

Coefficient of variation = (Standard Deviation / mean) × 100

⇒ 16 = (Standard Deviation / 25) × 100

⇒ 16 = Standard Deviation × 4

⇒ Standard Deviation = 16/4 = 4

Now,

Variance = (Standard Deviation)= 42 = 16

∴ The required answer is 16.
