Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is

34, 35, 41, 28, 26, 29, 32, 36, 38, 40

We need to find the mean deviation of the given data.

Number of observations, n = 10

Mean of the data is

Mean=\dfrac{\sum x}{n}

Mean=\dfrac{34+35+41+28+26+29+32+36+38+40}{10}

Mean=\dfrac{339}{10}

Mean=33.9

Formula for mean deviation is

\text{Mean deviation}=\dfrac{\sum |x-mean|}{n}

\sum |x-mean|=|34-33.9|+|35-33.9|+|41-33.9|+|28-33.9|+|26-33.9|+|29-33.9|+ |32-33.9|+|36-33.9|+|38-33.9|+|40-33.9|=41.2

\text{Mean deviation}=\dfrac{41.2}{10}

\text{Mean deviation}=4.12

The mean deviation of the ratings is 4.12.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answer:

b. 4.12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 10 experts rated a newly developed chocolate chip cookie on a scale of 1 to 50. Their ratings were:

34, 35, 41, 28, 26, 29, 32, 36, 38, and 40.

First of all, we will find the mean of the ratings.

\text{Mean of ratings}=\frac{34+35+41+28+26+29+32+36+38+40}{10}

\text{Mean of ratings}=\frac{339}{10}

\text{Mean of ratings}=33.9

Let us find absolute deviation of each point from mean.

|34-33.9|=0.1

|35-33.9|=1.1

|41-33.9|=7.1

|28-33.9|=5.9

|26-33.9|=7.9

|29-33.9|=4.9

|32-33.9|=1.9

|36-33.9|=2.1

|38-33.9|=4.1

|40-33.9|=6.1

Now we will use mean deviation formula.

\text{Absolute mean deviation}=\frac{\Sigma |x-\mu|}{N}, where,

\mu=\text{Mean} and N = Number of data points.

MD=\frac{0.1+1.1+7.1+5.9+7.9+4.9+1.9+2.1+4.1+6.1}{10}

MD=\frac{41.2}{10}

MD=4.12

Therefore, the mean deviation of the ratings is 4.12 and option 'b' is the correct choice.
