I can only give possible combination of the ages. Had the sum of the ages been given, then the 3 specific numbers would have been derived.

We need to do prime factorization of 72.

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2= 18
18 ÷ 2 =  9
  9 ÷ 3 =  3
  3 ÷ 1 = 1

1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72

Possible combinations:

1 x 8 x 9 = 72           1 + 8 + 9 = 18
1 x 4 x 18 = 72         1 + 4 + 18 = 23
2 x 4 x 9 = 72            2 + 4 + 9 = 15
3 x 4 x 6 = 72            3 + 4 + 6 = 13

Find the mean absolute deviation of the set of data 3,8,10,12,15
inn [45]

Answer:

3.28

Step-by-step explanation:

find the mean of all the numbers

3 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 15 = 48

48/5=9.6

so the mean of all the numbers is 9.6

now subtract 9.6 from all the numbers

|3 - 9.6| = 6.6

|8 - 9.6| = 1.6

|10 - 9.6| = .4

|12 - 9.6| = 2.4

|15 - 9.6| = 5.4

Find the mean/average of the new values

6.6 + 1.6 + .4 + 2.4 + 5.4 = 16.4

16.4/5  = 3.28
