In this article we introduce an approximately unbiased estimator for the population coefficient of variation, τ, in a normal distribution. The accuracy of this estimator is examined by several criteria. Using this estimator and its variance, two approximate confidence intervals for τ are introduced. The performance of the new confidence intervals is compared to those obtained by current methods.
