Solution

The correct option is B

1Nni=1fi|xi¯x|


Clearly mean of the given distribution will be
x=ni=1fi xini=1 fi

To find the mean deviation about ¯x we need sum of absolute deviation about ¯x for each xi

Which would be ni=1fi(xix|

Total number of observations = ni=1 fi = N

Mean deviation about mean = =1Nni=1fi(xix|

option b
