Question

Find the mean absolute deviation for the set {-32, 9, 11, 12}

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

{-32, 9, 11, 12}

first, find the mean (Find the sum of the data values, and divide the sum by the number of data values )

(-32) + 9 + 11 + 12 = 0

0/0 = 0

then, find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|.

-32 - 0= -32

9 -0 = 9

11 -0 = 11

12 -0 = 0

finally, find the sum of the absolute values of the differences. Divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the number of data values.

0 - 0 / 4 = 0

answer is 0 (A)
