Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The MAD is a measure of variability. Find the mean of the data set. Find the distance from the mean for each data value. Find a means of the distances.

Mean Absolute Deviation is a quantity of measurement that gives you an idea how far, on average, are the data points deviating from the mean. Its equation is

MAD = ∑|x - μ| /  N, where

x is a single data point
μ is the mean of the data set
N is the total number of data points

Suppose, a data set consist of the following: 4, 7, 5, 9, 6, 7, 7, 4. Let's solve first for the mean:

μ = (4+7+5+9+6+7+7+4)/8 = 6.125

Then, the MAD is equal to:

MAD = (|4 - 6.125| + |7 - 6.125| +|5 - 6.125| +|9 - 6.125| +|6 - 6.125| +|7 - 6.125| +|7 - 6.125| +|4 - 6.125|) ÷ 8
MAD = 11/8
MAD = 1.375

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = 6 when x = 2, find x when y = 12.
igomit [66]

Answer:

x = 4 when y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of y to x is 6:2. If you multiply either one of them, you must do the same to the remaining number. So, when you multiply 6 by 2 to get 12, you must also multiply 2 by 2 to keep the ratio equal and the same. 2x2 = 4, so x=4 when y=12. Hope this helped! Good luck with other math problems :)
