Solution:
(i) 3011, 2780, 3020, 2354, 3541, 4150, 5000
To calculate the Median (M), let us arrange the numbers in ascending order.
Median is the middle number of all the observations.
2354, 2780, 3011, 3020, 3541, 4150, 5000
So, Median = 3020 and n = 7
By using the formula to calculate Mean Deviation,
xi | |di| = |xi – 3020| |
3011 | 9 |
2780 | 240 |
3020 | 0 |
2354 | 666 |
3541 | 521 |
4150 | 1130 |
5000 | 1980 |

Median is the middle number of all the observations.
34, 38, 42, 44, 46, 48, 54, 55, 63, 70
Here the number of observations is even. Then Median = (46+48)/2 = 47
Median = 47 and n = 10
By using the formula to calculate Mean Deviation,
xi | |di| = |xi – 47| |
38 | 9 |
