Hello!

The mean is the mean of how close each number is to the mean. To calculate it, first you find the mean of the data set.

(25+40+65+55+50)÷5=47

Now we have to find the absolute value of the distance between each number and the mean. We add all of these up and divide by five to find the mean absolute deviation (note that since we are doing absolute value we do not have to worry about which number comes first).

|47-25<span> |=22</span>
|47-40<span> |</span>=7
|47-65<span> |=18
</span>|47-55<span> |=8
</span>|47-50<span> |=3
</span>
Now we find the mean of all these values.

(22+7+18+8+3)÷5=11.6

The mean absolute deviation is 11.6.

I hope this helps!

We have a few steps we need to do to find the mean absolute deviation of a set of numbers. First, find the mean. Second, find the distance the numbers are from the mean. Third, average out the distances.

Finding the Mean
To find the mean/average, you add up all the numbers in the set, and divide it by the amount of numbers.
25+40+50+55+65=235
Now divide by 5.
235÷5=47
So, the mean is 47.

Finding the Distances
We can subtract the numbers from the mean, and we can ignore the negatives.
47-25=22
47-40=7
47-65=-18; 18
47-55=-8;8
47-50=-3;3
So, the distances are: 3, 7, 8, 18, and 22.

Finding the Mean of the Distances
Add them up.
3+7+8+18+22=58
Now divide by 5.
58÷5=11.6

So, the mean absolute deviation is 11.6.

1 Which type of data is best represented using a line plot?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

#1) D frequency data that can be plotted on a number line ; #2) A Sarah read twice as many chapters Wednesday as Monday, C Sarah read more than four chapters on two days, F Sarah read at least three chapters on four days, and H The total number of chapters Sarah read on the weekend was the same as the total number she read on the weekdays.

Step-by-step explanation:

#1) A line plot shows the frequencies of data.  It is displayed over a number line; this makes the best choice for the answer "frequency data that can be plotted on a number line."

#2) We can see that Sarah read 2 chapters on Wednesday and 1 chapter on Monday.  This is twice as many chapters.

She read more than 4 chapters on both Saturday and Sunday.

She read 3 or more chapters on Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The total number of chapters she read on the weekend was 5+6 = 11.  The total number of chapters she read on the weekdays was 1+3+2+2+3 = 11.  These are the same.
