Q. Find the mean absolute deviation of the data set below. Round the answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.2.5,6.5,9,19,20,2.5
Find Mean: Find the mean of the data set.Mean = 62.5+6.5+9+19+20+2.5Mean = 659.5Mean = 9.9
Calculate Deviations: Calculate the absolute deviations from the mean. ∣2.5−9.9∣=7.4∣6.5−9.9∣=3.4∣9−9.9∣=0.9∣19−9.9∣=9.1∣20−9.9∣=10.1∣2.5−9.9∣=7.4
Find Mean Absolute Deviation: Find the mean of the absolute deviations. Mean Absolute Deviation = 67.4+3.4+0.9+9.1+10.1+7.4 Mean Absolute Deviation = 638.3 Mean Absolute Deviation = 6.4
