Question

Find the mad 5,12,19,4,23,33

Answer 1

We first have to find the MEAN:

5 + 12 + 19 + 4 + 23 + 33 = 96

------------------------------------- ------ = 16

6 6

(add all the numbers and divide it by 6, we divide it by six because we have six numbers..)

WE finally found the mean, lets move on to finding the M.A.D (mean absolute deviation)

..In order to find the M.A.D we need to subtract 16 to the given data set (the numbers listed)

16 - 5 = 11

16 - 12 = 4

16 - 19 = 3

16 - 4 = 12

16 - 23 = 7

16 - 33 = 17

Then we add them add them again (dont forget to divide it by 6 again)

11 + 4 + 3 + 12 + 7 + 17 = 54

--------------------------------- ------- = 9 (SO OUR M.A.D WILL BE 9!)

6 6

Answer 2

To find the Mean Absolute Deviation of a data set, start by finding the mean.

(5 + 12 + 19 + 4 + 23 + 33) ÷ 6 = 16


Then, subtract the mean from every data value in the data set to find the absolute values.

5 - 16 = -11
12 - 16 = -4
19 - 16 = 3
4 - 16 = -12
23 - 16 = 7
33 - 16 = 17


Finally, find the mean of the absolute values.

((-11) + (-4) + 3 + (-12) + 7 + 17) ÷ 6 = 0


Answer: The MAD of the data set 5, 12, 19, 4, 23, 33 is 0.
