The coefficient of variation is often used as a measure of precision in medical and biological sciences. When it is known a priori that several independent normal populations have equal coefficient of variations, procedures for constructing confidence intervals for the common coefficient of variation based on the concept of generalized variables had been discussed by other researchers. This paper makes use of the same concept applied to lognormal populations.
