MEDAL AND FAN FOR THE FIRST PERSON TO HELP ME IMAGE IN CHAT The dot plot below shows Angela's bowling scores for her last ten games. What is the mean absolute deviation of the data set shown? 2 8 4 152
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math/cc-6th-data-statistics/cc-6-mad/e/calculating-the-mean-absolute-deviation--mad- this will really help, just click "hint" and it will tell you how to do it :D
nmv i think the hints are already shown, but if you need more help, i will be happy to help!
ok one moment
can i have more help please
@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 ?
my session timed out
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
152
so its D
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
ok
thanks
D might not be correct though so we need to keep going
ok my session timed out tho
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?
are you in k12?
yep
ah the questions will stay the same so, you can just go re put in the answers ;)
