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.
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
The greatest common factor between 6 and 30 would be 6, but I need to see the problem on the original piece of paper of a picture to understand the distributive property part of your question.
