Solution and Explanation

\(x_i\)\(f_i\)\(f_ix_i\)\(|x_i-\bar{x}|\)\(f_i|x_i-\bar{x}|\)
5735963
10440416
1569016
20360618
2551251155
 25350 158

\(N=\sum_{I=1}^{5}f_i=25\)

\(N=\sum_{I=1}^{5}f_ix_i=350\)

∴ \(\bar{x}=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{I=1}^{5}f_ix_i=\frac{1}{25}×350=14\)

∴ \(=MD\bar{(x)}=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{5}f_i|x_i-\bar{x}|=\frac{1}{25}×158=6.32\)

Concepts Used:

Mean Deviation

A statistical measure that is used to calculate the average deviation from the mean value of the given data set is called the mean deviation.

The Formula for Mean Deviation:

The mean deviation for the given data set is calculated as:

Mean Deviation = [Σ |X – µ|]/N

Where, 

  • Σ represents the addition of values
  • X represents each value in the data set
  • µ represents the mean of the data set
  • N represents the number of data values

Grouping of data is very much possible in two ways:

  1. Discrete Frequency Distribution
  2. Continuous Frequency Distribution
