1. Find Mean deviation about Median from the following ungrouped data
`85,96,76,108,85,80,100,85,70,95`


Solution:
Median :
Observations in the ascending order are :
`70,76,80,85,85,85,95,96,100,108`

Here, `n=10` is even.

`M=(text{Value of } (n/2)^(th) text{ observation} + text{Value of } (n/2 + 1)^(th) text{ observation})/2`

`=(text{Value of } (10/2)^(th) text{ observation} + text{Value of } (10/2 + 1)^(th) text{ observation})/2`

`=(text{Value of }5^(th) text{ observation} + text{Value of }6^(th) text{ observation})/2`

`=(85 + 85)/2`

`=85`

`x``|x - M| = |x - 85|`

`880``88`


Mean deviation of Median
`delta bar x = (sum |x - M|)/n`

`delta bar x = 88/10`

`delta bar x = 8.8`


Coefficient of Mean deviation `=(delta bar x)/(bar x)`

`=8.8/85`

`=0.1035`
2. Find Mean deviation about Median from the following ungrouped data
`69,66,67,69,64,63,65,68,72`


Solution:
Median :
Observations in the ascending order are :
`63,64,65,66,67,68,69,69,72`

Here, `n=9` is odd.

`M=` value of `((n+1)/2)^(th)` observation

`=` value of `((9+1)/2)^(th)` observation

`=` value of `5^(th)` observation

`=67`

`x``|x - M| = |x - 67|`

------
`603``20`


Mean deviation of Median
`delta bar x = (sum |x - M|)/n`

`delta bar x = 20/9`

`delta bar x = 2.2222`


Coefficient of Mean deviation `=(delta bar x)/(bar x)`

`=2.2222/67`

`=0.0332`
