The number of pets owned by eight classmates is shown below: 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 1 Part A: What is the mean of the data? Show your work. (4 points) Part B: Use your answer from Part A to calculate the mean absolute deviation for the data. Show your work. (6 points)

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

do you know what the mean is

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

Part A: 1+3+2+2+1+3+3+1 which is 16 then since there 8 number you divide 16/8 which is 2, so the mean would be 2.

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

yes

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

for part be i dont understand that well...

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

since the mean is 2 find the difference from those numbers from two on the number line

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 1

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

yes

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

So do i add those numbers and then divide it by 8?

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

those together then divide my 8 since there is 8 numbers

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

yep

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

0.88

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

so 6/8

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

no .75

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

0.88 round to the nearest hundreds

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

oh i put 7/8

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

yes

OpenStudy (partyshotz2409):

6/8=.75 so the mean absolute deviation is .75

OpenStudy (acespeedfighter):

Oh ok thak you
