If \(m\) and M denote the mean deviations about mean and about median respectively of the data \(20,5.15,2,7,3,11\) then the mean deviation about the mean of \(m\) and \(M\) is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{7}\)
  2. B \(\frac{38}{7}\)
  3. C \(\frac{36}{7}\)
  4. D \(\frac{37}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, mean of the given data \(\bar{x}=\frac{20+5+15+2+7+3+11}{7}=9\) Now, mean deviation about mean \(\begin{aligned} = & \frac{|9-20|+|9-5|+|9-15|+|9-2|+|9-7|+|9-3|+|9-11|}{7}=\frac{38}{7}=m \end{aligned}\) Since, Median \(=\left(\frac{7+1}{2}\right)^{\text {th }}\) term…
