What is the mean absolute deviation for these data?

Answer 1

i have no idea lol

Answer 2

Steps for mean absolute deviation:

1. Calculate the mean (since you have 10 numbers add them up and divide by the 10)
2 for each number, subtract (that number - the mean). Take the absolute value of the result. Repeat for all numbers.

Ex you’d start with the first number in the list (1) and subtract 1 - the mean. Then take the absolute value of the result.

3. Add all the results from step 2 and take their mean.
