Find the mean deviation about the median for the following data :
4, 15, 9, 7, 19, 13, 6, 21, 8, 25, 11

Question

Find the mean deviation about the median for the following data :34, 23, 46, 37, 40, 28, 32, 50, 35, 44

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Here the number of observations is 10 which is odd.

Arranging the data into ascending order, we have 23, 28, 32, 34, 35, 37, 40, 44, 46, 50

Now,

The respective absolute values of the deviations from median , i.e. are

13, 8, 4, 2, 1, 1, 4, 8, 10, 14

Thus, the required mean deviation about the median is
