The mean absolute deviation, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is: 11.67 calories.
<h3>How to Find the Mean Absolute Deviation?</h3>
To find the mean absolute deviation, find the mean of the data then find the average distance of each data point from the mean.
Given the data, 61, 42, 52, 27, 35, 23:
Mean = (61 + 42 + 52 + 27 + 35 + 23)/6 
Mean = 240/6 
Mean = 40
Mean absolute deviation = [(61 - 40) + ( 42 - 40) + ( 52 - 40) + ( 27 - 40) + ( 35 - 40) + ( 23 - 40) 6 = (21) + (2) + (12) + (13) + (5) + (17)] / 6 = 70/6 
Mean Absolute Deviation = 11.67 calories.
