Question

What is the mean absolute deviation of this data set? 26, 31, 32, and 39

Answer 1

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

26, 31, 32, and 39

First we need to find the mean

(26+ 31+ 32+ 39) /4

128/4 = 32

The mean absolute deviation is sum of   the positive difference between the number and the mean  divided by the number of terms

((32-26)+ (32-31)+ (32-32)+ (39-32)) /4

14/4

3.5
