Calculate the mean deviation from the mean for the following data :

36, 72, 46, 42, 60, 45, 53, 46, 51, 49

Given, Numbers of observations are given.

To Find: Calculate the Mean Deviation.


Formula Used: Mean Deviation =


Explanation: Here, Observations 36, 72, 46, 42, 60, 45, 53, 46, 51, 49 are Given.


Deviation |d| = |x-Mean|


Mean =


Mean of the Given Observations =


And, The number of observations is 10


Now, The Mean Deviation is



Mean Deviation =


Mean Deviation of the given Observations =


Hence, The Mean Deviation is 7.4
