Question

Find the mean absolute deviation of the set of data 16, 20, 24, 25, 28, 29, 31 and 35.

Answer 1

Add them together for the mean. it equals 209, then divide 209 by how many numbers there are which is 8 so that equals 26.125. that is your mean. no clue what absolute deciation means. sorry!

Answer 2

thanks

Answer 3

Mean Absolute Deviation = Sum ( x_i - mean) / n

Answer 4

mean absolute deviation is the mean absolute distance from the mean.

for each data value do:\[|x-x_m|\]where \[x_m = mean = 26.125\]

then find the average of these

as a formula:
\[M.A.D = \frac{\sum_{i =1}^{i=n}|x_i - x_m|}{n}\]

Answer 5

@Chlorophyll it has to be absolute value of (x_i - mean) i think

Answer 6

Answer 8

i needdddd answer please

Answer 9

do you understand our explanation?

Answer 10

Why don't you input the numbers :
start with |16 - 26.125 | + | 20 - 26.125 | + ....

Answer 11

@tjdenerson It's not as bad as you imagine, just enter 8 subtractions with plus signs,
then divide by 8! That's it :)
