Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data in questions 1 and 2:
1. 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17
2. 38, 70, 48, 40, 42, 55, 63, 46, 54, 44
Solutions to questions 1 and 2:
1. Arithmetic mean (bar{x}) of 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17 is
(bar{x}) = (frac{4+7+8+9+10+12+13+17}{8}) = (frac{80}{8})
= 10.
Σ |x_i – (bar{x})| = 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 3 + 7
= 24.
∴ Mean deviation about mean
= M.D. ((bar{x})) = (frac{Sigmaleft|x_{i}-bar{x}right|}{n}) = (frac{24}{8}) = 3.

2. Mean of the given data in

= 8.4

Find the mean deviation about the mean for the data in questions 3 and 4:
3. 13, 17, 16, 14, 11, 13, 10, 16, 11, 18, 12, 17.
4. 36, 72, 46, 42, 60, 45, 53, 46, 51, 49.
Solutions to questions 3 and 4:
3. The given data is
13, 17, 16, 14, 11, 13, 10, 16, 11, 18, 12, 17.

Arranging it in ascending order:
10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 13, 14, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18.
There are 12 observations.
∴ (frac{12}{2}) th item = 6th item = 13.
and ((frac{12}{2}) + 1)th item = 7th item = 14.
∴ Median M = (frac{1}{2})(13 + 14) = 13.5.
∴ (sum_{i=1}^{12})|x_i – M| = 3.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 1.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 3.5 + 3.5 + 4.5
= 28.
M.D. (M) = (frac{28}{12}) = 2.33.

4. The given data is
36, 72, 46, 42, 60, 45, 53, 46, 51, 49.

Arranging the data in ascending order:
36, 42, 45, 46, 46, 49, 51, 53, 60, 72.
The number of observations = 10.
∴ (frac{10}{2})th = 5th observation = 46.
((frac{10}{2}) + 1)th = 6th observation = 49.
∴ Median = (frac{1}{2})(46 + 49) = 47.5.
= |36 – 47.51 + |42 – 47.5| + |45 – 47.5| + |46 – 47.5| + |46 – 47.5| + |49 – 47.5| + |51 – 47.5| + |53 – 47.5| + |60 – 47.5| + |72 – 47.5|
=11.5 + 5.5 + 2.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 3.5 + 5.5 + 12.5 + 24.5 = 70.
Deviations about median
∴ M.D.(M) = (frac{70}{10}) = 7.

Find the mean deviation about the median for the data in questions 7 to 8:

Solutions to questions 7 and 8:
7. The table to find cumulative frequency c.f. and median is as follows:

Total of the frequencies = 26.
∴Median M = (frac{1}{2})[(frac{26}{2})th value + ((frac{26}{2}) + 1)th value]
= (frac{1}{2})(13th value + 14th value)
= (frac{1}{2})(7 + 7) = 7.
∴ Mean deviation from the median
(frac{Sigma f_{i}left(x_{i}-Mright)}{Sigma f_{i}}) = (frac{84}{26}) = (frac{42}{13}) = 3.23.

8. Cumulative frequency distribution of the given data is:

Since N = Σf_i = 29, which is odd, the median is the ((frac{n+1}{2}))th observation, i.e., ((frac{29+1}{2}) = 15)th observation, which is equal to 30. Thus, median is 30.
∴ Mean deviation from the median = (frac{Sigma f_{i}left|x_{i}-30right|}{Sigma f_{i}}) = (frac{148}{29}) = 5.1.

Find the median deviation about mean for the data in questions 9 and 10:

Question 11.
Find the mean deviation about median for the following data:

Solution:
Table to find cumulative frequencies and Σf_i|x_i – M| is given below:

Here, (frac{N}{2}) = (frac{50}{2}) = 25.
So, median class is 20 – 30
∴ l = 20, f = 14, h = 10.
Median = (frac{frac{N}{2}-C}{f}) × h
= 20 + (frac{25-14}{14}) × 10
= 20 + (frac{11}{14}) × 10
= 20 + 7.86
= 27.86.
Σf_i|x_i – M| = 517.16.
∴ Median deviation about median
= (frac{517.16}{50}) = 10.34

Question 12.
Calculate the mean deviation about median for the age distribution of 100 persons given below:

Solution:
Continuous frequency distribution, cumulative frequencies and f_i|x_i – M| are given in the following table:

Median class 35.5 – 40.5.
∴ l = 35.5 and h = 5, C = 37, f = 26.
∴ Median = l + (frac{frac{N}{2}-C}{f}) × h
= 35.5 + (frac{50-37}{26}) × 5 = 35.5 + (frac{13}{26}) × 5
= 35.5 + 2.5 = 38.
∴ Σf_i|x_i – M| = 735..
N = Σf_i = 100.
Mean deviation about Median
= (frac{Sigma f_{i}left|x_{i}-Mright|}{N}) = (frac{735}{100}) = 7.35.
