In fact partial compaction happens during pouring & when we use vibration or other method of compaction we will get full compaction.
And since the sample obtains 95% i.e. it has high work ability.

For a good workability, the compaction factor must be between (0.7 - 0.95).
Extremely low - 0.65 to 0.68.
Very low - 0.75.
Low - 0.83 to 0.85.
Medium - 0.90 to 0.92.
High - 0.95.
Extremely low - 0.65 to 0.68.
Very low - 0.75.
Low - 0.83 to 0.85.
Medium - 0.90 to 0.92.
High - 0.95.

The more compaction means more denser concrete and as 1% of air voids reduce strength by 5%, more compaction provides lesser voids which provides good strength.

More compaction, means more dense material, otherwise (lower workability).
For a good workability, compaction factor must be between (0.7 - 0.95).

As the ratio between partially compacted and fully compacted concrete increases, the work ability of concrete also increases upto the maximum.

0.83, 0.92, 0.95 low medium and high respectively for very low 0.83>0.75 and extremely low 0.75>.
