What is the mean absolute deviation of the following data set

Answer:

4.32

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find the mean of the data set.

16, 11, 9, 12, 11, 10, 10, 8, 15, 0, 2, 15, 14, 7, 11, 5, 14, 20, 3, 11, 13, 7, 0, 5, 21 all added together equals 250. 250 divided by 25 = 10. So 10 is the mean.

Now we have to find the absolute distances of each number from the mean.

16 - 10 = 6... 11 - 10 = 1... so on, giving us this -->

6, 1, 1, 2, 1, 0, 0, 2, 5, 10, 8, 5, 4, 3, 1, 5, 4, 10, 7, 1, 3, 3, 10, 5, 11

Finally, we have to find the mean of the distances (which is done by adding all the numbers above and dividing the sum by the number of values there are).

108 divided by 25 = 4.32.

So, 4.32 is the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the following data set.

Use the information from the polling agency to determine the sample size needed to construct a 95% confidence interval with a ma

Ber [7]

Answer:

the sample size n= 771

sample proportion is p = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step1:</u>-

marginal error formula is $\frac{2S.D}{\sqrt{n} }$

but if 'n' is sample size then $n = \frac{1}{(margin error)^{2} }$

Given margin error is 36% = 0.036

$n= \frac{1}{(0.036)^2}$

on simplification , we get n= 777 polling agencies

<u>Step 2</u>:-

$Margin of error = \frac{2\sqrt{p(1-p)} }{\sqrt{n} }$

substitute values , we get

$\frac{36}{100} = \frac{2\sqrt{p(1-p)} }{\sqrt{771} }$

after simplification, we get

$\sqrt{p(1-p)} = \frac{1}{2}$

squaring on both sides, we get

$p(1-p) = \frac{1}{4}$

multiply 'p' inside

$p-p^{2} =\frac{1}{4}$

cross multiplication '4' and simplify

$4p^{2} -4p +1 =0$ ........(1)

finding 'p' value

The equation (1) is of the form $(a-b)^{2} = a^{2} -2ab+b^{2}$

$(2p)^{2} -2(2p)(1)+1^{2} = (2p-1)^2$

$(2p-1)^2 =0$

$p=\frac{1}{2}$

<u>conclusion</u>:-

The sample size is 771

the sample proportion is p = $\frac{1}{2}$
