Answer:

mean absolute deviation is 18.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

Given observation values 22,26,28,35,45,63,91

$mean (x ) = \frac{22+26+28+35+45+63+91}{7}$

mean = 44.28≅ 44

Step2:-

The deviations of the respective observations from the mean (x)

That is $x_{i}-x$

22-44, 26-44,28-44,35-44,45-44,63-44,91-44

-22, -18 ,-16 ,-9, 1, 19, 47

Step 3:-

The absolute values of the given data

$x_{i}-x$

modulus of all these values

22,18,16,9.1,19,47

Step 4:-

Mean absolute deviation M.D=∑ $\frac{x_{i} - x }{n}$

$MAD = \frac{22+18+16+9+1+19+47}{7}$

on simplification we get mean absolute deviation is 18.85
