Solution

The correct option is A

0.825


Mean = ni=1fixini=1fi
Here, n = 6
=6(2)+8(8)+(8.5)(10)+9(7)+7(8)+10(5)2+8+10+7+8+5=33040=8.25=¯x
Now , mean deviation about mean would be ,

ni=1fi|xi¯x|ni=1fi = 2(2.25)+8(0.25)+10(0.25)+7(0.75)+8(1.25)+5(1.75)40=3340=0.825

Mean deviation about mean for his performance across 40 months about his average performance rating of 8.25 is 0.825 which shows he is quite consistent.
