Q. Manager Mark counted the number of innings each Shire Sharks pitcher pitched during the Soiltop Tournament. Calvin pitched 11 innings, Brody pitched 5 innings, Thom pitched 12 innings, Shawn pitched 7 innings, and Harley pitched 5 innings.Find the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the data set.□innings
List Innings Pitched: List the number of innings pitched by each pitcher.Calvin = 11 inningsBrody = 5 inningsThom = 12 inningsShawn = 7 inningsHarley = 5 innings
Calculate Mean: Calculate the mean (average) number of innings pitched.Mean = (Sum of all innings pitched) / (Number of pitchers)Mean = (11+5+12+7+5)/5Mean = 40/5Mean = 8 innings
Calculate Absolute Deviations: Calculate the absolute deviations from the mean for each pitcher.Absolute deviation for Calvin = ∣11−8∣=3Absolute deviation for Brody = ∣5−8∣=3Absolute deviation for Thom = ∣12−8∣=4Absolute deviation for Shawn = ∣7−8∣=1Absolute deviation for Harley = ∣5−8∣=3
Calculate Mean of Deviations: Calculate the mean of the absolute deviations.MAD=Number of pitchersSum of absolute deviationsMAD=5(3+3+4+1+3)MAD=514MAD=2.8 innings
