Question

Sheryl got these scores on her spelling tests.

Answer 1

Answer:

5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Sheryl got the following scores on her spelling tests.

95, 89, 99, 85, 82

Mean = sum of all observations/ Number of observations

Sum of all observations $=95+89+99+85+82=450$

Number of observations = 5

So,

Mean $=\frac{450}{5}=90$

Let M denotes the mean

Mean absolute deviation $=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left | x_i-M \right |}{n}$

Put $n=5$

So,

Mean absolute deviation $=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{5}\left | x_i-M \right |}{5}=\frac{|95-90|+|89-90|+|99-90|+|85-90|+|82-90|}{5}=\frac{5+1+9+5+8}{5} =\frac{28}{5}=5.6$
