Answer:
Mean = 8.4
mean deviation about mean = 2.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Class Frequency Class Mean mean - 8 (Mean-8)/4 frequency *
2-6 6 4 -4 -1 -6
6-10 8 8 0 0 0
10-14 4 12 4 1 4
14-18 2 16 8 2 4
Total 20 - 2
Mean = 8 + (-2/20) * 4
= 8 + 0.4
= 8.4
Mean = 8.4
Class Mean | Class Mean - Mean| frequency
4 4.4 6 26.4
8 0.4 8 3.2
12 3.6 4 14.4
16 7.6 2 15.2
20 59.2
Mean deviation = 59.2/20 = 2.96
