Question

below are the distances from jamar house to each of the the four restaurant in his town in kilometer 0.4,0.2,0.4,0.6 find the absolute deviation (MAD) of the data set​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\bar X = \frac{0.4+0.2+0.4+0.6}{4}= 0.4$

Now we can calculate the absolute deviations from the mean for each value:

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.2-0.4|=0.2

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.6-0.4|=0.2

And adding these 4 values and dividing by 4we got the MAD on this case:

$MAD = \frac{0+ 0.2+0 +0.2}{4}=0.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following dataset given:

0.4,0.2,0.4,0.6

In order to calculate the MAD we need to calculate the sample mean first with this formula:

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

Replacing we got:

$\bar X = \frac{0.4+0.2+0.4+0.6}{4}= 0.4$

Now we can calculate the absolute deviations from the mean for each value:

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.2-0.4|=0.2

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.6-0.4|=0.2

And adding these 4 values and dividing by 4we got the MAD on this case:

$MAD = \frac{0+ 0.2+0 +0.2}{4}=0.1$
