Answer: KINDLY CHECK EXPLANATION
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
1) dataset:
My data(x) : 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
2) to calculate the mean absolute deviation of the data above :
Step 1: Find the mean (m) of the dataset (my data)
Mean(m) = sum of values in my data / number of observations in my data (n)
m = (2+4+6+8+10) / 5
m = 30 / 5 = 6
The mean absolute deviation(MAD) :
Sum of The absolute value of the difference between values in my data and the mean value (m) Divided by the number of observations.
MAD = (Sum of |x - m|) / n
MAD = (|2-6| + |4-6| + |6-6| + |8-6| + |10-6|) / 5
MAD = (4 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4) / 5
MAD = 12 / 5
MAD = 2.4
