MEAN DEVIATION/ AVERAGE DEVIATION

Ungrouped Data:
Average Deviation , A. D(Med) = Σ Mod( X - Med )/N

A. D (Mean) =Σ Mod ( X- X)/N where X is the mean.

Co-efficient of A. D (Med) = A.D/Median

Grouped Data:
A. D (Med) = Σf Mod( X - Med)/N

STANDARD DEVIATION

By taking deviaitions from Actual Mean

σ = sqrt ( Σ ( X - X)2/ N)
σ = sqrt ( Σ X2/N - (ΣX/N)2

By taking deviaitions from Assumed Mean

σ = sqrt ( Σ d2/N - (Σd/N)2


d = (X - A)

SPEARMAN'S RANK CORRELATION

Rank Correlation R = 1-6ΣD2/(N3-N) (no repeatition)

R = 1-6[ ΣD2+ Correction Factor]/N3-N (repeatition)

Correction Factor = ΣM3-M/12
