A Correct answer
Explanation

First 8 composite numbers: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15. Mean = (4+6+8+9+10+12+14+15)/8 = 78/8 = 9.75. Mean deviation = sum|x - 9.75| / 8 = (|4-9.75| + |6-9.75| + |8-9.75| + |9-9.75| + |10-9.75| + |12-9.75| + |14-9.75| + |15-9.75|) / 8 = (5.75 + 3.75 + 1.75 + 0.75 + 0.25 + 2.25 + 4.25 + 5.25) / 8 = 24 / 8 = 3.0.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Mean = sum(f*x) / sum(f) = (50+140+450+520+500) / 50 = 1660 / 50 = 33.2. Mean deviation = sum(f * |x - mean|) / sum(f). |10-33.2|=23.2, |20-33.2|=13.2, |30-33.2|=3.2, |40-33.2|=6.8, |50-33.2|=16.8. Sum = (5*23.2 + 7*13.2 + 15*3.2 + 13*6.8 + 10*16.8) = 116 + 92.4 + 48 + 88.4 + 168 = 512.8. Mean deviation = 512.8 / 50 = 10.256.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The mean is calculated by the formula sum(f*x) / sum(f). Sum(f*x) = (10*5) + (20*12) + (30*32) + (40*40) + (50*45) + (60*48) = 50 + 240 + 960 + 1600 + 2250 + 2880 = 7980. Sum(f) = 5 + 12 + 32 + 40 + 45 + 48 = 182. Mean = 7980 / 182 = 43.846.
