Question

A fitness instructor tested the arm strength of members of a fitness dass to compare their scores to the national average. The test rated members on a scale from 1, the weakest, to 10, the strongest. The scores of 9 members are shown in the data set below. 4,6,6,7,7,8,8,8,9 Part A What is the value of each measure? Answers: Median: Mode: Range: Part B The mean absolute deviation (MAD) value of the data set is about 1.1. Tyler says that the lower the MAD value, the greater the variability. Is Tyler correct? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Median: 7

Mode: 8

Range: 5

B) Tyler is wrong, the greater the MAD value, the greater the variability

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Given the data set: 4,6,6,7,7,8,8,8,9

The median is 7 (the middle point in the ordered list)

The mode is 8 (the most repeated number)

The range is 5 (the difference between the highest and lowest values)
