Part a)
MAD = median of absolute deviations
MAD = median of the set formed by : |each value - Median|
Then, first you have to find the median of the original set
The original set is (<span>38, 43, 45, 50, 51, 56, 67)
The median is the value of the middle (when the set is sorte). This is 50.
Now calculate the absolute deviation of each data from the median of the data.
1) |38 - 50| = 12
2) |43 - 50| = 7
3) |45 - 50| = 5
4) |50 - 50| = 0
5) |51 - 50| = 1
6) |56 - 50| = 6
7) |67 - 50| = 17
Now arrange the asolute deviations in order
(0, 1, 5, 6, 7, 12, 17)
The median is the value of the middle: 6.
Then the MAD is 6.
Part b) MAD represents the median of the of the absolute deviations from the median of the data.

use this equation to solve for the surface area.
A=2(w+l+hl +hw)
w stands for width
l stands for length
h stands for height
