Question
Calculate mean deviation using median and coefficient of mean deviation:
Class: 5-15 15-25 25-35 35-45 45-55
Frequency: 5 4 5 4 2

Answer

C.I. f c.f. M.V.(m) M = 27* |D| = |m - M| f|D|
5-15 5 5 10 17 85
15-25 4 9 20 7 28
25-35 5 14 30 3 15
35-25 4 18 40 13 52
45-55 2 20 50 23 46
  $\Sigma\text{f}=20$       $\Sigma\text{f|D|}=226$
Median $=\Big(\frac{\text{N}}2{}\Big)^{\text{th}}\text{item}=\Big(\frac{20}{2}\Big)=10^\text{th}\text{item},$ which lies in the class 25-35.
$\text{M}=\text{l}_1+\frac{\frac{\text{N}}{2}-\text{c.f.}}{\text{f}}\times\text{i}$
$=25+\frac{10-9}{5}\times10$
$=25+\frac{1}{5}\times10=27^*$
Mean Deviation $M=\frac{\Sigma\text{f|D|}}{\Sigma\text{f}}=\frac{226}{20}=11.3$
coefficient of M.D. $M=\frac{\text{M.D.}_{\text{M}}}{\text{M}}$
$=\frac{11.3}{27}=0.41$
