Answer:
The mean absolute deviation of this data is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a dataset is the average distance between each data point and the mean. It gives us an idea about the variability in a dataset.
The steps to find the MAD include:
- find the mean (average)
- find the difference between each data value and the mean
- take the absolute value of each difference
- find the mean (average) of these differences
To find the mean absolute deviation of this data you must
Step 1: Calculate the mean.
Step 2: Calculate the distance between each data point and the mean and take the absolute value of each difference .
Step 3: Add the distances together.
Step 4: Divide the sum by the number of data points.
First, we must find the common denominator (12) ✵
10/12-6/12 ✵ ✵ ✵ ✵
Now, why 10? ✵ ✵ ✵
Because we CAN'T just take the denominator and change it; we must change both the denominator AND the numerator:
✵ • - ○
4/12 ✧ ✩ ✶ ✺ ✱
We can simplify, or reduce, this fraction: ✱ ✱
1/3 ✩ ✦ ✤
I hope it helps!
