Answer 2

To find the Mean Absolute Deviation, you have to find the mean first.
7+5+1+6+2+3=24
24 divided by 6 numbers= 4
The mean is four.
Next you need to find how much is each number from the mean
7=3 from 4 5=1 from 4 etc
You get 3,1,3,2,2,1
Then you find the mean of that.
3+1+3+2+2+1=12
12 divided by six numbers = 2
The Mean Absolute deviation is 2
