Question

Associations In Data:Question 10

Answer 1

Answer:

$\bar X = \frac{62+63+68+72+79+80+83+93+94+95}{10}= 78.9$

$|62-78.9| = 16.9$

$|63-78.9| = 15.9$

$|68-78.9| = 10.9$

$|72-78.9| = 6.9$

$|79-78.9| = 0.1$

$|80-78.9| = 1.1$

$|83-78.9| = 4.1$

$|93-78.9| = 14.1$

$|94-78.9| = 15.1$

$|95-78.9| = 16.1$

$MAD = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n |X_i -\bar X|}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$MAD =\frac{16.9+15.9+10.9+6.9+0.1+1.1+4.1+14.1+15.1+16.1}{10}= 10.12$

And the best anwer is

10.12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data given:

62 63 68 72 79 80 83 93 94 95

And we need to begin finding the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$\bar X = \frac{62+63+68+72+79+80+83+93+94+95}{10}= 78.9$

Now we can find the mean absolute deviation like this:

$|62-78.9| = 16.9$

$|63-78.9| = 15.9$

$|68-78.9| = 10.9$

$|72-78.9| = 6.9$

$|79-78.9| = 0.1$

$|80-78.9| = 1.1$

$|83-78.9| = 4.1$

$|93-78.9| = 14.1$

$|94-78.9| = 15.1$

$|95-78.9| = 16.1$

And finally we can find the mean abslute deviation with the following formula:

$MAD = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n |X_i -\bar X|}{n}$

And replacing we got:

$MAD =\frac{16.9+15.9+10.9+6.9+0.1+1.1+4.1+14.1+15.1+16.1}{10}= 10.12$

And the best anwer is

10.12
