Concept:

Mean deviation from mean =  

Coefficient of mean deviation = 

where N is the number of observation

x̅ is the mean of the data

x is the value of the observation.

Calculation:

⇒ x̅ = 

 Sum of deviation from mean is given by Σ∣xi​ − x̅∣,

⇒ Σ∣xi​ − x̅∣ = ∣21 − 30 + ∣34 − 30∣ + ∣23 − 30∣ + ∣39 − 30∣ + ∣26 − 30∣ + ∣37 − 30∣ + ∣40 − 30∣ + ∣20 − 30∣ + ∣33 − 30∣ + ∣27 − 30∣

⇒ Σ∣xi​ − x̅∣ = 9 + 4 + 7 + 9 + 4 + 7 + 10 + 10 + 3 + 3

⇒ Σ∣xi​ − x̅∣ = 66
Mean deviation from mean =  =  ​= 6.6
Coefficient of mean deviation =  = 0.22

∴ Coefficient of mean deviation = 0.22
