In her first five basketball games, Tara scored 10, 11, 15, 16, and 18 points. What is the mean absolute deviation for this set of scores?
@K12awesomeness
have u learned this yet ?
Yes, I have.
i forgot how to get the mean absolute deviation, can u remind me
Sure. Give me a sec.
Theres this: the mean deviation is a measure of dispersion, A measure of by how much the values in the data set are likely to differ from their mean. The absolute value is used to avoid deviations with opposite signs cancelling each other out. And then theres this: The mean means to add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are. In other words it is the sum divided by the count.
10+11+15+16+18/6
its 5 not 6
And the answer to your question is 14... I do believe:)
k thanks
10+11+15+16+18+70/5=14 so yes k12 you are right
