Question

Chicken eggs can be categorized as large if they weigh at least 2 ounces. Clare weighs 48 large eggs and finds that they have a mean weight of 2.1 ounces and a mean absolute deviation of 0.08 ounces. Interpret 0.08 ounces in this situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.08 ounces is interpreted as the Mean Absolute Deviation and this means that

the various weights of each of the 48 eggs deviates from the mean of the egg (2.1 ounces)by 0.08 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean Absolute Deviation of a data set is defined as the distance or the deviation between a given data set and the calculated mean.

Mean Absolute Deviation tells us about how much a data set varies from it's mean.

From the above question, we are told that after weighing 48 eggs we have a mean of 2.1 ounces and mean deviation of 0.08 ounces

Therefore this means that the various weights of each of the 48 eggs deviates from the mean of the egg (2.1 ounces)by 0.08 ounces
