Answer: 14.25

First we will find the mean,

(2+4+5+5+3)/2

=19/2=9.5

Now we will subtract all 5 numbers from the mean we found.

9.5-2=7.5

9.5-4=5.5

9.5-5=4.5

9.5-5=4.5

9.5-3=6.5

We will now find the mean for these new numbers, that is,

(7.5+5.5+4.5+4.5+6.5)/2

=28.5/2=14.25

THERE YOU HAVE IT, MEAN ABSOLUTE DEVIATION OR MAD. GOOD LUCK!
