Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{4}{9}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Arrange the data in ascending order, \(5,8,9,14,20,27,35,44,54\) (ungrouped data) Mean \(_3-\vec{x}=\frac{216}{9}=24\). Mean deviation about mean, i.e. \(M_1=\frac{\Sigma\left|x_1-\bar{x}\right|}{N}\)…
