Question

Persevere with Problems The table shows the highway fuel economy of various popular vehicles.

Answer 1

The mean absolute deviation of highway fuel economy of various popular vehicles is 4.9

How to find mean absolute deviation?

Find the mean of the data set

= (38 + 48 + 25 + 35 + 33 + 37 + 32 + 34 + 23 + 30) / 10

= 335 / 10

= 33.5

Mean deviation of each set;

38 - 33.5 = 4.5

48 - 33.5 =14.5

25 - 33.5 = -8.5

35 - 33.5 = 1.5

33 - 33 .5 = -0.5

37 - 33.5 = 3.5

32 - 33.5 = -1.5

34 - 33.5 = 0.5

23 - 33.5 = -10.5

30 - 33.5 = -3.5

Absolute deviation of each value

|4.5| = 4.5

|14.5| = 14.5

|8.5| = 8.5

|1.5| = 1.5

|-0.5| = 0.5

|3.5| = 3.5

|-1.5| = 1.5

|0.5| = 0.5

|-10.5| = 10.5

|-3.5| = 3.5

Total absolute deviation = 4.5 + 14.5 + 8.5 + 1.5 + 0.5 + 3.5 + 1.5 + 0.5 + 10.5 + 3.5

= 49

Mean absolute deviation = Total absolute deviation / mean

= 49/10

= 4.9
