HELP

Answer 4

step#1
we have to find the mean value, of this set of values:
$12, $9, $6, $8, and $10.

Answer 5

that mean value m is:
\[m = \frac{{12 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 10}}{5} = ...?\]

Answer 6

umm

Answer 7

9

Answer 8

ok!

Answer 9

now, you have to compute these quantities:
\[\begin{gathered}
12 - 9 = ...? \hfill \\
9 - 9 = ...? \hfill \\
9 - 6 = ...? \hfill \\
9 - 8 = ...? \hfill \\
10 - 9 = ...? \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]

Answer 10

1.3
2.0
3.3
4.1
5.1

Answer 11

sorry,
12-9=3

Answer 12

please, continue

Answer 13

umm i don't know what to do next :c

Answer 14

@Michele_Laino

Answer 15

we have:
\[\begin{gathered}
12 - 9 = 3 \hfill \\
9 - 9 = 0 \hfill \\
9 - 6 = 3 \hfill \\
9 - 8 = 1 \hfill \\
10 - 9 = 1 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]

Answer 16

Those quantities, are the absolute deviations. now, your answer, namely the MAD, or mean absolute deviation is given by the subsequent computation:
\[\large \frac{{3 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 1}}{5} = ...?\]

Answer 17

8/5

Answer 18

and 8:5=1.6

Answer 19
