Q. In the data set below, what is the mean absolute deviation?\newline9,8,6,6,4,8,89, 8, 6, 6, 4, 8, 8\newlineIf the answer is a decimal, round it to the nearest tenth.\newlinemean absolute deviation (MAD): __\_\_
  1. Calculate Mean: Calculate the mean of the data set.\newlineData set: 9,8,6,6,4,8,89, 8, 6, 6, 4, 8, 8.\newlineMean = (9+8+6+6+4+8+8)/7=49/7=7(9 + 8 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 8 + 8) / 7 = 49 / 7 = 7.
  2. Find Deviations: Find the absolute deviations from the mean.\newlineAbsolute deviations: ∣9−7∣=2|9 - 7| = 2, ∣8−7∣=1|8 - 7| = 1, ∣6−7∣=1|6 - 7| = 1, ∣6−7∣=1|6 - 7| = 1, ∣4−7∣=3|4 - 7| = 3, ∣8−7∣=1|8 - 7| = 1, ∣8−7∣=1|8 - 7| = 1.
  3. Calculate Mean Absolute Deviation: Calculate the mean of these absolute deviations.\newlineMean absolute deviation = (2+1+1+1+3+1+1)/7=10/7≈1.4(2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1) / 7 = 10 / 7 \approx 1.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
