Answer:

A

Explanation:

The set of values given are

x=10,15,18,20,24

N=5 ⇒number of set of values given

Finding the mean

Mean= sum of x/N

(10+15+18+20+24)/5 =17.4

Finding the Deviations from the mean

║x-mean║=7.4, 2.4, 0.6, 2.6, 6.6

Sum of deviations from mean

sum of ║x-mean║= 7.4+2.4+0.6+2.6+6.6=19.6

Finding mean absolute deviation

Mean absolute deviation=sum of deviations from mean/N

mean absolute deviation =19.6/5 =3.92
