Mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the data set indicates the average distance of all elements from mean of the data set.
MAD of the data represented by dot plot in the picture will be Option A.
Elements in the given dot plot are,
3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7
Steps to be followed for the mean absolute deviation of this data set.
- Find the mean of the data set
- Find the absolute distance of each element from the mean
- Find the average distance of all the elements which will be MAD of the data set.
Step - 1 :
Mean of the data set =
=
=
(As shown on the dot plot)
Step - 2 :
Absolute distance of each element from the mean of the data set,
3 - 5 = |-2| = 2
4 - 5 = |-1| = 1
5 - 5 = 0
5 - 5 = 0
5 - 5 = 0
5 - 5 = 0
5 - 5 = 0
5 - 5 = 0
6 - 5 = 1
7 - 5 = 2
Step - 3 :
Average of the absolute distance =
=
= 0.6
Therefore, Option A will be the correct option.
