Stefano calculated the mean absolute deviation for the data set 32, 4, 12, 40, 20, and 24. His work is shown below. Step 1: Find

the mean. mc006-1.jpg Step 2: Find each absolute deviation. 10, 18, 10, 18, 2, 2 Step 3: Find the mean absolute deviation. mc006-2.jpg What is Stefano’s error? Stefano should have divided by 5 when finding the mean. Stefano found the absolute deviation of 20 incorrectly. Stefano should have divided by 6 when finding the mean absolute deviation. Stefano did not find the correct value for the mean.

To find the mean, you add all the numbers together and then divide by the number of numbers (6).

4 + 12 + 20 + 24 + 32 + 40 =  132
132/6 = 22

To find the mean absolute deviation, you will find the distance between each number and the mean and then divide this by 6 as well.

(22-4) +(22-12)+(22-20)+(24-22)+(32-22)+(40-22)
18 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 10 + 18 = 60
60/6 = 10

The mean absolute deviation is 10.

The correct answer is that Stefano should have divided by 6 when finding the mean absolute deviation.

6p=13.50

there are 6 notebooks and it costs $13.50 altogether. P represents the cost of one notebook, therefore the equation would be 6p=13.5. It can be rearranged to p=13.5/6
