Solution:-
Draw a table of the given data and append other columns after calculations.
We know that, N = \[26\], which is even.
So, median is the mean of the \[13\]and \[14\] observations. Both of these observations lie in the cumulative frequency \[14\], for which the corresponding observation is \[7\].
Then,
Median = (\[13\] observation + \[14\] observation)/2
= \[(7+7)/2\]
= \[14/2\]
= \[7\]
Therefore, \[\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}{{{f}_{i}}}=26\]and \[\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}{{{f}_{i}}}\left| {{x}_{i}}-M \right|=84\]
Mean deviation(M) =\[\frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{6}{{{f}_{i}}}\left| {{x}_{i}}-M \right|\]
=\[(1/26)\times 84\]
=\[3.23\]
Therefore, the mean deviation about the median is \[3.23\]
