Answer:

MAD= \frac{1}{14} 27.286 = 1.949 \approx 2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The mean absolute deviation or MAD "is the average of the absolute deviations or the positive difference of the given data and that certain value (generally central values)". And is given by this formula:

MAD= \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n |x_i -\bar X|

Solution to the problem

Assuming the info from the picture. So then the data is this one:

66,69,70,70,71,72,72,72,73,73,74,75,75,75

So the first step is find the mean for the dataset with the following formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And if we replace the values we got:

\bar X = \frac{66+69+70+70+71+72+72+72+73+73+74+75+75+75
}{14}=71.929

And now we need to subtract for each value the mean like this:

Data      X_i -\bar X

66               5.929

69               2.929

70               1.929

70               1.929

71                0.929

72               0.0714

72               0.0714

72               0.0714

73               1.0714

73               1.0714

74               2.0714

75               3.0714

75               3.0714

75               3.0714

Now we need to add the deviations and divide by the the number of data values and we got:

MAD= \frac{1}{14} 27.286 = 1.949 \approx 2.0

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Look that the coordinates and trace those points to a corresponding number on the x or y axis. Then write the first number in the coordinate in the x value and the second number for the y value, repeat the process for the rest of the points.

A triangle has a side lengths of 4cm,3cm, and 4cm. Classify its as acute, obtuse, or right.
DIA [1.3K]

When given 3 triangle sides, to determine if the triangle is acute, right or obtuse:

1) Square all 3 sides.

4, 3, 4, 

16, 9, 16

2) Sum the squares of the 2 shortest sides.

16 + 9 = 25


3) Compare this sum to the square of the 3rd side.

25 > 16

if sum > 3rd side²   Acute Triangle

So, it is an acute triangle.
