Answer 1

119.816

Explanation:

Given the data :

123.6, 225.1, 324.8, 422.9, 524.2

Mean absolute deviation (MAD) :

Σ|x - m| / n

m = mean = ΣX / n

n = same size = 5

m = 1620.6 / 5 = 324.12|

[|123.6 - 324.12| + |225.1 - 324.12| + |324.8 - 324.12| + |422.9 - 324.12| + |524.2 - 324.12|] / 5

= 119.816
