Question
Calculate the mean deviation about mean for the following distribution:
Class interval
$0-4$
$4-8$
$8-12$
$12-16$
$16-20$
Frequency
$4$
$6$
$8$
$5$
$2$

Answer

Classes
$f_i$
$x_i$
$f_ix_i$
$|x_i- 9.2|$
$f_i|x_i - 9.2|$
$0-4$
$4$
$2$
$8$
$7.2$
$28.8$
$4-8$
$6$
$6$
$36$
$3.2$
$19.2$
$8-12$

$10$
$80$
$0.8$
$6.4$
$12-16$
$5$
$14$
$70$
$4.8$
$24.0$
$16-20$
$2$
$18$
$36$
$8.8$
$17.6$
 
$N = 25$
 
Total $= 230$
 
Total $= 96.0$
$\text{Mean}=\frac{230}{25}=9.2$
$\text{M.D}=\frac{96}{25}=3.84$
