Calculate the mean deviation from the mean for the following data :
38, 70, 48, 40, 42, 55, 63, 46, 54, 44
Given, Numbers of observations are given.
To Find: Calculate the Mean Deviation.
Formula Used: Mean Deviation = ![]()
Explanation: Here, Observations 38, 70, 48, 40, 42, 55, 63, 46, 54, 44 are Given.
Deviation |d| = |x-Mean|
Mean = ![]()
Mean of the Given Observations = ![]()
And, The number of observations is 10.
Now, The Mean Deviation is

Mean Deviation = ![]()
Mean Deviation of the given Observations = ![]()
Hence, The Mean Deviation is 8.4
