Attachment in Question. Be sure to show your work for finding: *the mean of the set of data (alreadyfound) *the distance of each number from the mean *the mean absolute deviation
@iGreen
Hold on
So..where are you stuck?
Like how to find the distance and I toatally don't get what the absolute thing is :|
Subtract.. What did you get for the mean?
I got 47 for the mean is that right?
Yeah, if you're rounding to the nearest whole number.
Subtract all the numbers from the mean to find the distance.
Ok so whats with the absolute thing than?
@iGreen ^
Hold on
Ohhh, you have to find all the distances and find the mean of those distances
Solve all of these, then add them up and divide by 7
Oh..wait.. Forget those plus problems..they should be: 50 - 47 = ? 56 - 47 = ? 52 - 47 = ? 47 - 46 = ? 48 - 47 = ? 47 - 42 = ? 47 - 38 = ?
50 - 47 = 3, 56 - 47 = 9, 52 - 47 = 5, 47 - 46 = 1, 48 - 47 = 1, 47 - 42 = 5, 47 - 38 = 9
Yes, now simplify: \(\dfrac{3 + 9 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 5 + 9}{7}\)
3+9+5+1+1+5+9 = 33
Yep, now divide by 7.
4
No.. 33 / 7 = ?
Umm lol its 4.714285 33/7 = 4.714285 and yes I did use a calculator and I also used siri kind of
Not that I cant figure it out myself Its just handy to get it faster...
Lol
Yep, that's the absolute mean
