Question

HELP ME PLEASE A.S.A.P.!

Thelma counted the number of apples on each of the apple trees in her backyard. She found 34 apples on her Cortland apple tree, 29 apples on her Red Delicious apple tree, 39 apples on her Empire apple tree, and 34 apples on her Fuji apple tree.


Find the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the data set.

Answer 1

First we find the mean: 34+29+39+34 = 136
136/4 = 34
The mean is 34.
Now we need to find how much each term deviates from the mean.
|34-34| = 0
|29-34| = 5
|39-34| = 5
|34-34| = 0
Now we mean/average these deviations.
(0+5+5+0)/4 = 10/4 = 2.5
Your mean absolute deviation would be 2.5. Hope this helps!
