Answer: Add all the absolute deviations and divide by number of swimmers.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean absolute deviation of any data we need to follow the following steps:
- Start by finding the mean of the data set.
- Find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean.
- Find the sum of the absolute values of the differences.
- Divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the number of data values.
We can see in the picture that it already dome with first two steps so the step after that is " Add all the absolute deviations and divide by number of swimmers."
Answer:
b. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we test a solution or two, we can easily discard most of them.
We see the values alternate of signs (-5 for the 2nd term and +162 for the 5th term)... so the progression factor has to be negative (in order to alternate sign). <u>That already excludes answers A and C.</u>
Normally, a geometric progression has the (n-1) exponent, not (n+1), so our chances seem to be better with B.
We can test both D and B with n = 2, to obtain -6
Let's test answer D before:

The result is -54, not -6... so it's not the right result.
Let's test answer B then:

Right! Let's verify with n=5 to get 162:

Confirmed, answer is B. an = 2 • (-3)^(n - 1)
Answer
standard deviation
Explanation
Standard deviation is the measure of spread of data around the mean.
Mode is the most common value - which would be the mean in a normal-like distribution.
Median is the middle value when the data is ranked in ascending order (or descending even)
Skewness, is when the mode of the data falls behind the mean by a large margin.
An example is GDP, a few billionaires increase the number number and distort it, even though most people are of low or middle based income.
