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

What is the value of the expression below?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

D. 30

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(-8)(3)(-1) /(-4)

Lets simplify the numerator first

-5*-8 = 40

40 *3 = 120

120*-1 = -120

Replace -5(-8)(3)(-1)  with -120

-120/-4

A negative divided by a negative is a positive

AAS rule can prove these triangles are congruent cuz u see two angles are marked as equal to each other but the side that’s overlapped on each other(the line the triangles are sharing) shows that the side is equal length to each other.
