OpenStudy (mysticfury):

nmv i think the hints are already shown, but if you need more help, i will be happy to help!

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

ok one moment

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

can i have more help please

@MysticFury

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

okay so what we need to do is find the mean first, we do this by adding up all the numbers like we did in the previous question then dividing by how many numbers there are, can you do this for me ?

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

my session timed out

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

we have 146 + 146 + 148 + 150 + 150 + 154 + 156 + 156 + 156 + 158 = ? then divide the total by 10 since thats how many numbers we have

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

152

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

so its D

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

correct , now we found our mean, but we need the mean absolute deviation so we need to take the original number and minus it from 152 like this 152 - 146 = 6 152 - 146 = 6 152 - 148 = 4 152 - 150 = 2 152 - 150 = 2 152 - 154 = 2 152 - 156 = 4, 4 and 4 (because theres 3) 3 of those ^ 158 - 152 = 6

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

ok

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

thanks

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

D might not be correct though so we need to keep going

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

ok my session timed out tho

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

after that we find the mean of those numbers, 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 40 divide by how many numbers 40 divided by 10 = 4 so our Mean Absolute Deviation is 4 understand it a little better now?

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

are you in k12?

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

yep

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

ah the questions will stay the same so, you can just go re put in the answers ;)
