Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given

observations are already in ascending order.

Adding a column corresponding to cumulative

frequencies of the given data, we obtain the

x  

i

 f  

i

 c.f.

5 8 8

7 6 14

9 2 16

10 2 18

12 2 20

15 6 26

Here N=26

which is even

Median is

the mean of 13th and 14th observations. Both of these observations lie in the

cumulative frequency 14, for which the corresponding observation is 7

∴Median=  

2

13  

th  

 observation +14  

th  

 observation  

=

7+7

=7

The absolute values of the deviations from median,

ie. ∣x  

i

−M∣, are
