Question

The data set below has 7 values find the mean absolute deviation for the data set if necessary round your answer to the nearest hundredth 16,10,17,12,79,13

Answer 1

Hello there,

Even though there is only 6 we can use the 6 there.

So the mean is all the data values added up by how many values there are in this case there are 6.

So that means 16 + 10 + 17 + 12 + 79 + 13 = 147

And because there are 6 values, you divide 147 by 6.

Therefore getting 147/6 = 24.5

Hope this helps you!
