The mean deviation about median from the following data : 340 , 150 , 210 , 240 , 300 , 310 , 320 is
Options
- A52 . 8
- B53 . 4
- C54 . 6
- D55 . 5
Correct answer
A. 52 . 8
Step-by-step solution
Arranging the observations in ascending order of magnitude, we have 150 , 210 , 240 , 300 , 310 , 320 , 340 clearly, the middle observation is 300 . So, median = 300 Calculation of Mean deviation x i d i = x i - 300 340 150 210 240 300 310 320 40 150 90 60 0 10 20 Total ∑ d i = ∑ x i - 300 = 370 Mean deviation = 1 n ∑ d i = 1 7 ∑ x i - 300 = 370 7 = 52 . 8
