Question

Note: Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided The top five test scores in Mr. Rhodes's class were 98, 92, 96, 97, and 97. What is the mean absolute deviation?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

mad = 98 + 92 + 96 + 97 + 97 / 5

= 480/5

= 96

mad = (98 -96) + (92 - 96) + (96 -96) + (97- 96) + (97 -96) / 5

= 2 + (-4) + 0 + 1 + 1 / 5

=0/5

mad = 0

Answer 2

Answer:

1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean absolute deviation of the data, start by finding the mean of the data set. Find the sum of the data values, and divide the sum by the number of data values. Find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|.

98+92+96+97+97=480

480/5 values=96 is the mean or average of the set of numbers

so we just find the absolute value of the data value minus the mean.

For the first one it would be |98-96|=2

then continue on and get a set of values

{2,4,0,1,1}

now find the average of that to get the mean absolute deviation

2+4+0+1+1=8

8/5 values

1.6

Hope that helps :)
