Question

Find the mean absolute deviation of the data set.
10, 7, 13, 10,8

Answer 1

1st step (find the mean):

Mean: 10 + 7 + 13 + 10 + 8 = 48/5 = 9.6

Mean: 9.6

2nd step ( Subtract the mean ((9.6)) in the following given data set )

9.6 - 10 = 0.4

9.6 - 7 = 2.6

9.6 - 13 = 3.4

9.6 - 10 = 0.4

9.6 - 8 = 1.6

3rd step (Now we have to add up all the difference's ((the numbers that are in bold))

0.4 + 2.6 + 3.4 + 0.4 + 1.6 = 8.4/5 = 1.68

So our final answer would be 1.68 (M.A.D) Mean Absolute Deviation = 1.68

Answer 2

Answer:

1.68 is the mean absolute deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of mean deviation:

the average of the absolute values of the numerical discrepancies between a set of numbers (such as statistical data) and its mean or median.

According,to the question:

1st step: (find the mean):

Mean: 10 + 7 + 13 + 10 + 8 /5

       = 48/5

        = 9.6

Mean: 9.6

2nd step: ( Subtract the mean (9.6) in the following given data set )

9.6 - 10 = 0.4

9.6 - 7 = 2.6

9.6 - 13 = 3.4

9.6 - 10 = 0.4

9.6 - 8 = 1.6

3rd step: (adding the all number)

0.4 + 2.6 + 3.4 + 0.4 + 1.6

= 8.4/5

= 1.68

As a result, our final solution is 1.68. (M.A.D)

1.68 is the mean absolute deviation.
