1. Calculate the mean deviation about the median of the following observation :
(i) 3011, 2780, 3020, 2354, 3541, 4150, 5000

(ii) 38, 70, 48, 34, 42, 55, 63, 46, 54, 44

(iii) 34, 66, 30, 38, 44, 50, 40, 60, 42, 51

(iv) 22, 24, 30, 27, 29, 31, 25, 28, 41, 42

(v) 38, 70, 48, 34, 63, 42, 55, 44, 53, 47

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,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)
xi |di| = |xi – 3020|
3011 9
2780 240
3020 0
2354 666
3541 521
4150 1130
5000 1980
Total 4546
\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/7 × 4546

= 649.42

∴ The Mean Deviation is 649.42.

(ii) 38, 70, 48, 34, 42, 55, 63, 46, 54, 44

To calculate the Median (M), let us arrange the numbers in ascending order.

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,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)
xi |di| = |xi – 47|
38 9

Total 86
\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/10 × 86

= 8.6

∴ The Mean Deviation is 8.6.

(iii) 34, 66, 30, 38, 44, 50, 40, 60, 42, 51

To calculate the Median (M), let us arrange the numbers in ascending order.

Median is the middle number of all the observations.

30, 34, 38, 40, 42, 44, 50, 51, 60, 66

Here the number of observations is even, then Median = (42+44)/2 = 43

Median = 43 and n = 10

By using the formula to calculate Mean Deviation,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)
xi |di| = |xi – 43|
30 13

Total 87
\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/10 × 87

= 8.7

∴ The Mean Deviation is 8.7.

(iv) 22, 24, 30, 27, 29, 31, 25, 28, 41, 42

To calculate the Median (M), let us arrange the numbers in ascending order.

Median is the middle number of all the observations.

22, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 41, 42

Here the number of observations is even, then Median = (28+29)/2 = 28.5

Median = 28.5 and n = 10

By using the formula to calculate Mean Deviation,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)
xi |di| = |xi – 28.5|
22 6.5
24 4.5

Total 47
\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/10 × 47

= 4.7

∴ The Mean Deviation is 4.7.

(v) 38, 70, 48, 34, 63, 42, 55, 44, 53, 47

To calculate the Median (M), let us arrange the numbers in ascending order.

Median is the middle number of all the observations.

34, 38, 43, 44, 47, 48, 53, 55, 63, 70

Here the number of observations is even, then Median = (47+48)/2 = 47.5

Median = 47.5 and n = 10

By using the formula to calculate Mean Deviation,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/10 × 84

= 8.4

∴ The Mean Deviation is 8.4.

3. Calculate the mean deviation of the following income groups of five and seven members from their medians:

I

Income in ₹

II

Income in ₹

4000 3800
4200 4000
4400 4200
4600 4400
4800 4600
4800
5800

Solution:

Let us calculate the mean deviation for the first data set.

Since the data is arranged in ascending order,

4000, 4200, 4400, 4600, 4800

Median = 4400

Total observations = 5

We know that,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

Where, |di| = |xi – M|

xi |di| = |xi – 4400|
4000 400
4200 200
4400 0
4600 200
4800 400
Total 1200
\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/5 × 1200

= 240

Let us calculate the mean deviation for the second data set.

Since the data is arranged in ascending order,

3800, 4000, 4200, 4400, 4600, 4800, 5800

Median = 4400

Total observations = 7

We know that,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

Where, |di| = |xi – M|

xi |di| = |xi – 4400|

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/7 × 3200

= 457.14

15.2, 27.9, 30.2, 32.5, 40.0, 52.3, 52.8, 55.2, 72.9, 79.0

We know that,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

Where, |di| = |xi – M|

The number of observations are Even then Median = (40+52.3)/2 = 46.15

Median = 46.15

Number of observations, ‘n’ = 10

xi |di| = |xi – 46.15|

27.9 19.25
30.2 15.95
Total 167.4
\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/10 × 167.4

= 16.74

∴ The Mean Deviation is 16.74.

(ii) Find the mean deviation from the mean also.

We know that,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

Where, |di| = |xi – x|

So, let ‘x’ be the mean of the given observation.

x = [40.0 + 52.3 + 55.2 + 72.9 + 52.8 + 79.0 + 32.5 + 15.2 + 27.9 + 30.2]/10

= 458/10

55.2 9.4
72.9 27.1
52.8 7
79.0 33.2
32.5 13.3
15.2 30.6
27.9 17.9
30.2 15.6
Total 166.4
\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/10 × 166.4

= 16.64

∴ The Mean Deviation is 16.64

5. In question 1(iii), (iv), (v) find the number of observations lying between 

\(\begin{array}{l}\overline{X} – M.D\end{array} \)
and 
\(\begin{array}{l}\overline{X} + M.D\end{array} \)
, where M.D. is the mean deviation from the mean.

Solution:

(iii) 34, 66, 30, 38, 44, 50, 40, 60, 42, 51

We know that,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

Where, |di| = |xi – x|

So, let ‘x’ be the mean of the given observation.

x = [34 + 66 + 30 + 38 + 44 + 50 + 40 + 60 + 42 + 51]/10

= 455/10

= 45.5

Number of observations, ‘n’ = 10

Total 90
\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

= 1/10 × 90

= 9

Now

\(\begin{array}{l}\overline{X} – M.D\end{array} \)
= 45.5 – 9 = 36.5
\(\begin{array}{l}\overline{X} + M.D\end{array} \)
= 45.5 + 9 = 54.5

So, There are total 6 observation between 

\(\begin{array}{l}\overline{X} – M.D\end{array} \)
and 
\(\begin{array}{l}\overline{X} + M.D\end{array} \)

We know that,

\(\begin{array}{l}MD = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}|d_{i}|\end{array} \)

Where, |di| = |xi – x|

So, let ‘x’ be the mean of the given observation.

x = [22 + 24 + 30 + 27 + 29 + 31 + 25 + 28 + 41 + 42]/10

= 299/10

= 29.9

= 1/10 × 48.8

= 4.88
