The marks obtained by 10 students in a Statistics test are 24,47,18,32,19,15,21,35,5024,47,18,32,19,15,21,35,50 and 41. What is the mean deviation of the largest five observations?

Options

  1. A4.8
  2. B5.5
  3. C6
  4. D7.5

Correct answer

C. 6

Step-by-step solution

∵15,18,19,21,24,32,35,41,47,50\because 15,18,19,21,24,32,35,41,47,50 Largest 5 observations are 32,35,41,47,5032,35,41,47,50 Mean =μ=32+35+41+47+505=2055=41\begin{aligned} \text{ Mean } & =\mu=\frac{32+35+41+47+50}{5} \\ & =\frac{205}{5}=41 \end{aligned}Mean deviation $=\frac{\Sigma\left|x_i-\mu\right|}{n}\begin{aligned} & =\frac{|32-41|+|35-41|+|41-41|+|47-41|+|50-41|}{5} \\ & =\frac{9+6+0+6+9}{5}=\frac{30}{5}=6\end{aligned}$$$
