Mean deviation in statistics is defined as the mean of the distances of each value from their mean. It is also referred to as mean absolute deviation. The data in a tabular form which indicates the frequency is known as a frequency distribution. Input the statistical grouped data (continuous / discrete frequency distribution) and the Mean Deviation for Grouped Data calculator will update you with the mean deviation (MAD) about median and mean.

Find the MD of x=2,4,6,8 and f=3,4,5,6
Find the mean of the data :
((2*3)+(4*4)+(6*5)+(8*6)) / (3+4+5+6) = 100/18 = 5.56
Find the distance between each number data and mean.
Distance between 2 and 5.56 is 3.56
Distance between 4 and 5.56 is 1.56
Distance between 6 and 5.56 is 0.44
Distance between 8 and 5.56 is 2.44
Muliply this each distance value with each frequency data:
(3.56*3)+(1.56*4)+(0.44*5)+(2.44*6) = 33.76
Divide it by the sum of frequency data :
33.76 / (3+4+5+6) = 1.88
1.88 is the Mean Deviation.
