Example 1:
Find the mean deviation of the mean for the following data: 15, 17, 10, 13, 7, 18, 9, 6, 14, 11
Solution :
Let the mean of the given data be x1. Then,
i=1∑n|X1=x| / n
= [(120)/(10)] =12. [n=10]
The values of (x-x1 ) are 3,5,-2,1,-5,6,-3,-6,2,-1.
Therefore, the values are |x-x1| is 3,5,2,1,5,6,3,6,2,1
Mean Deviation (x1)=i=1∑n|x-x1| / n = 34/10=3.4
Hence Mean Deviation (x1)=3.4.
Example 2:
Find the mean and median for the data set: {8, 5, 13, 25, 49, 23, 27}
Solution:
Mean of data set:
Mean or average is the sum of all the observations in the set divided by total number of observations in a set.
Below is the formula for calculating Mean.
Mean = Total sum of data set / total number of elements in data set
= (8 + 5 + 13 + 25 + 49 + 23 + 27) / 5
= 150 / 5 = 30
Therefore mean is 30.
Median of the data set:
Median is the middle value of the data set after the arrangement in ascending or descending order.
Arrange the elements in ascending order: 5, 8, 13, 23, 25, 27, 49
Therefore median is 23.
