Formula used

Mean Deviation about median= \(∑\rm \frac{|x_{i} - M|}{n}\)

Where, 

xi = individual term 

M = Median

n = total number of terms

Calculation:

52, 56, 66, 70, 75, 80, 82

Median = 70

⇒  M = 70

⇒ The value of (xi - M) are

⇒ -18, -14, -4, 0, 5, 10, 12

⇒ Mean Deviation = \(\rm \frac{18 + 14 + 4 + 0 + 5 + 10 + 12}{7}\)

∴ The mean deviation about median is 9

Important Points

The mean is the average of a data set.

The median is the middle of the set of numbers.

Mean deviation about mean 

\(∑\rm \frac{|x_{i} - x̅|}{n}\) where x̅ = mean 

xi = individual term 

n = total number of terms
