Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

We make the following table and add other columns after calculations.

So, we can calculate the absolute values of the deviations from the mean, i.e., |x_i – x̅|, as shown in the table.

Thus, we have

Therefore

Hence, the mean deviation about the mean for the given data is 6.32.
