One the main advantage of using the coefficient of variation over the standard deviation to measure volatility is the fact that CV is normalized and can be used to directly compare different asset's volatility. The standard deviation must be used in the context of the mean of the data.
Relative dispersion = coefficient of variation = (9000/45000)(100) = 20.
