when tested the lives (in hours) of 5 bulbs were noted as follows 1357,1090,1666,1494,1623
The mean deviations (in hours ) from their mean is

A

178

B

179

C

220

D

356

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The lives of 5 bulbs are , 1357, 1090, 1666, 1494, 1623
Mean `(overline(x))=(1357+1090+1666+1494+1623)/(5)`
`=(7230)/(5)=1446`

`M.D.=(sum d_(i))/(N)=(890)/(5)=178`
