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} $
