will.h · Answer

am not sure tbh, thats the mean tho that we found. is the mean absolute deviation is the same as standard deviation formula?

prof_cutederp · Answer

im not sure

will.h · Answer

if its asking for the regular mean then : Add all values/ the number of the values
thats the right way to find the mean :)

welshfella · Answer

OK 
subtract the mean value  ( use 99.33  and   take the absolute (positive) value)  from each of the 6 numbers . 
Then add up these 6 differences.
Finally divide this result by 6 to give the MAD.
