Calculate the mean deviation from the median of the following data.
| Class interval | 0-6 | 6-12 | 12-18 | 18-24 | 24-30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency | 4 | 5 | 3 | 6 | 2 |

| 24-30 | 2 | 27 | 20 | 13 | 26 |
| Total | $N=20$ | $\Sigma f_i d_i=140$ |
$$\begin{aligned} &\because \quad \frac{N}{2}=\frac{20}{2}=10\\ &\text { So, the median class is 12-18. } \end{aligned}$$
$$\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \text { Median } & =l+\frac{\frac{N}{2}-c f}{f} \times i \\ & =12+\frac{6}{3}(10-9) \\ & =12+2=14 \\ \mathrm{MD} & =\frac{\Sigma f_i d_i}{\Sigma f_i}=\frac{140}{20}=7 \end{aligned}$$
