Let the median and the mean deviation about the median of 7 observation 170 , 125 , 230 , 190 , 210 , a , b be 170 and 205 7 respectively. Then the mean deviation about the mean of these 7 observations is:
Options
- A31
- B28
- C30
- D32
Correct answer
C. 30
Step-by-step solution
Given observations are 125 , a , b , 170 , 190 , 210 , 230 . Median = 170 Mean deviation about median is 205 7 . ⇒ 205 7 = 0 + 45 + 60 + 20 + 40 + 170 − a + 170 − b 7 ⇒ a + b = 300 Mean = 170 + 125 + 230 + 190 + 210 + a + b 7 = 175 Mean deviation about mean = 50 + 175 − a + 175 − b + 5 + 15 + 35 + 55 7 = 30
