Question

Jamie recorded the number of points she scored during her last 5 basketball games. She scored, 15, 25, 10, 2, and 8 points. What is the mean absolute deviation of the points she scored during the last five games?​

Answer 1

total no of game (n)=5

score =15, 25, 10, 2, and 8 points

mean= sum of score/no.of game

=(15+25+10+2+8)/5=60/5=12

absolute deviation of

15=\15-12\=3

25=\25-12\=13

10=\10-12\=2

2=\2-12\=10

8=\8-12\=4

mean absolute deviation=

(3+13+2+10+4)/5=3.6

is the mean absolute deviation of the points she scored during the last five games.

Answer 2

• 6.4

Explanation:

Given scores:

• 15, 25, 10, 2, and 8

Mean of the scores:

• (15 + 25 + 10 + 2 + 8)/5 = 12

Absolute deviations:

• |15 - 12|= 3
• |25 - 12|= 13
• |10 - 12| = 2
• |2 - 12| = 10
• |8 - 12| = 4

Sum of absolute deviations:

• 3 + 13 + 2 + 10 + 4 = 32

Mean absolute deviation:

• 32/5 = 6.4
