Calculate the mean deviation from the mean for the following data :
36, 72, 46, 42, 60, 45, 53, 46, 51, 49
Given, Numbers of observations are given.
To Find: Calculate the Mean Deviation.
Formula Used: Mean Deviation = ![]()
Explanation: Here, Observations 36, 72, 46, 42, 60, 45, 53, 46, 51, 49 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 7.4
