Q. A group of friends went to play minigolf at Adventureland. Anna's score was 26 putts, Daniela's score was 31 putts, Luiza's score was 39 putts, and Vera's score was 32 putts.Find the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the data set.□ putts
List all scores: List all the scores.Scores: 26, 31, 32, 39
Calculate mean: Find the mean (average) of the scores.Mean = (26+31+32+39)/4=128/4=32
Calculate absolute deviations: Calculate the absolute deviations from the mean for each score.∣26−32∣=6∣31−32∣=1∣32−32∣=0∣39−32∣=7
Find mean of deviations: Find the mean of these absolute deviations.MAD=(6+1+0+7)/4=14/4=3.5
