Solution:
$X_{i}$ | $d_{I}=x_{I}-\bar{x}$ | $|d_{i}|$ |
---|---|---|
3 | -6.5 | 6.5 |
5 | -4.5 | 4.5 |
6 | -3.5 | 3.5 |
7 | -2.5 | 2.5 |
10 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
12 | 2.5 | 2.5 |
15 | 5.5 | 5.5 |
18 | 8.5 | 8.5 |
$(\sum x_{i}=76$ | $\sum\left|d_{i}\right|=34$ |
where Mean $\overline{x}=\frac{\sum x_{i}}{N}=\frac{76}{8} $$ \begin{aligned} \overline{x}=9.5 \ \text { Mean deviation about mean } &=\frac{\sum\left|d_{i}\right|}{N} \ &=\frac{34}{8}=4.25 \end{aligned} $
