Question

The table shows the height of 5 students in inches what is the mean absolute deviation for these numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean absolute deviation (MAD), first find the mean (or average).

μ = (59 + 71 + 68 + 75 + 67) / 5

μ = 68

Next, subtract the mean from each value and take the absolute value.

|59 − 68| = 9

|71 − 68| = 3

|68 − 68| = 0

|75 − 68| = 7

|67 − 68| = 1

Sum the results and divide by the number of students.

MAD = (9 + 3 + 0 + 7 + 1) / 5

MAD = 4
