Q. In the data set below, what is the mean absolute deviation?4,7,1,3,3,5,5If the answer is a decimal, round it to the nearest tenth.mean absolute deviation (MAD): __
Calculate mean: Calculate the mean of the data set.Data set: 4,7,1,3,3,5,5.Mean = (4+7+1+3+3+5+5)/7=28/7=4.
Find deviations: Find the absolute deviations from the mean.Absolute deviations: ∣4−4∣,∣7−4∣,∣1−4∣,∣3−4∣,∣3−4∣,∣5−4∣,∣5−4∣=0,3,3,1,1,1,1.
Calculate mean absolute deviation: Calculate the mean of these absolute deviations.Mean absolute deviation = (0+3+3+1+1+1+1)/7=10/7≈1.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
