Given

3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 10, 10

Concept used

Mean = Average

Deviation is the difference with the given number in the series.

Calculation

Mean = \(\frac{{3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 10 + 10 + 10}}{7}\)

Mean = 49/7

Mean = 7

Checking the mean deviation with all the numbers given in the series.

Mean deviation 

⇒ |7 - 3|, |7 - 4|, |7 - 5|, |7 - 7|, |7 - 10|, |7 - 10|, |7 - 10|

⇒ 4, 3, 2, 0, 3, 3, 3

Mean deviation = \(\frac{{3 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3}}{7}\)

Mean deviation = 18/7
