Four friends played mini golf. Their scores were –3, –2, –1, and 2.
What is the mean absolute deviation of their scores?
step 1 = 2
step 2 = -3- 2 = 1
-2-2= 0
-1-2= 3
2-3=1
i feel like wrong though, like the negatives are tricking me or something :/ @black_ninja123

No its 4
OpenStudy (black_ninja123):
remember when there is a negative and a positive you have to add
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
kk √
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
so then 4 0 1 -2 -1 div by 5 = 0.4
OpenStudy (black_ninja123):
remove the negative sign from -2 and -1
