Help please on this math problem: The prices of backpacks at a store are 22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, and 26. Find the Mean Absol

ute Deviation (MAD) of the prices.
*i just don’t know if I should round the price to divide, since the answer for the mean ends up being a decimal.*

Answer: 7.22
(note: this is a result after rounding. The result before rounding was 7.21875)

========================================================

Explanation:

Given Set of Values = {22, 16, 39, 35, 19, 34, 20, 26}

Add up the values: 22+16+39+35+19+34+20+26 = 211
Divide that sum by 8 as there are 8 values: 211/8 = 26.375

The mean is 26.375

Now subtract the mean from each data value. Apply the absolute value to ensure the difference is never negative

|22 - 26.375| = 4.375
|16 - 26.375| = 10.375
|39 - 26.375| = 12.625
|35 - 26.375| = 8.625
|19 - 26.375| = 7.375
|34 - 26.375| = 7.625
|20 - 26.375| = 6.375
|26 - 26.375| = 0.375

Add up those results
4.375+10.375+12.625+8.625+7.375+7.625+6.375+0.375 = 57.75
Then divide by 8 
57.75/8 = 7.21875

The mean absolute deviation of the prices is 7.21875
Rounded to two decimal places, it is 7.22
Since we're talking about money, it makes sense to round to the nearest penny.

in Youngstown, the population reached 4420 people in 1993. in 1998 the population was 5600 residents. what was the population in
Julli [10]
5600 - 4420 = 1180....so there is a difference of 1180 in a period of (1998 - 1993) = 5 yrs.

1180/5 = 236 people per yr

so in 1998 the population was 5600.....in 2000 (2 yrs later) the population would be : 5600 + 236(2) = 5600 + 472 = 6072 <==
