perl · Answer

first find the mean of the data set

perl · Answer

( 10 + 9 + 16 + 5 + 10 ) / 5 = 10 
so the mean is 10. 

Now find the absolute value differences with respect to the mean. 

|10 - 10 |  + | 9  - 10 |  + | 16 - 10| +  | 5 - 10| + | 10 - 10| 

divide this by 5

perl · Answer

we get 
0 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 0   = 12

divide that by 5, to get the MAD

thanks so much perl
