The following set of data is given: 72, 72, 74, 80, 82, 82, 86, 88, 92, 92. The mean deviation from the median is
Show Hint
When the median is one of the data points (or the average of two identical points), several deviations will be zero, which simplifies the addition. Always group identical values when summing to avoid errors.
