$\sum\text{f}=50$
 
 
 
$\sum\text{f}|\text{d}|=960$
 
$\sum\text{fd}'=24$
 
$\sum\text{fd}'^2=354$
$\overline{\text{X}}=\text{A}+\frac{\sum\text{fd}'}{\sum\text{f}}\times\text{i}$
$=90+\frac{24}{50}\times10$
$=94.8$
$\text{MD}_\bar{\text{x}}=\frac{\sum\text{f}|\text{d}|}{\sum\text{f}}$
$=\frac{960}{50}=19.2$
$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum\text{fd}'^2}{\sum\text{f}}-\bigg(\frac{\sum\text{fd}'}{\sum\text{f}}\bigg)^2}\times\text{i}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{354}{50}-\Big(\frac{24}{50}\Big)^2}\times10$
$=\sqrt{\frac{354}{50}-\frac{576}{2500}}\times10$
$=\sqrt{6.85}\times10$
$=26.17$
Mean Deviation from mean,
$\text{MD}_\sigma=\frac{\sum\text{f}|\text{D}|}{\text{N}}$
$=\frac{998.4}{50}=19.968$
