3. Calculate Mean deviation, Coefficient of M.D. from the following data
`73,70,71,73,68,67,69,72,76,71`Solution:Mean deviation :Mean `bar x=(sum x)/n`
`=(73+70+71+73+68+67+69+72+76+71)/10`
`=710/10`
`=71`
`x` | `|x - bar x| = |x - 71|` |
73 | 2 |

Mean deviation of Mean
`delta bar x = (sum |x - bar x|)/n`
`delta bar x = 20/10`
`delta bar x = 2`
Coefficient of Mean deviation `=(delta bar x)/(bar x)`
`=2/71`
`=0.0282`
