Question

What is the absulute devtion of 16 in this data set 19 16 4 9 7

Answer 1

Answer: 5.

Reasoning: How you get the absolute deviation of a number in a set is to

1. Find the median (add all the numbers together, then divide it by the amount of numbers) (19+16+4+9+7=55, then 55 divided by 5 to get 11)

2. Find the difference between the number (16 in this case) and the median (11) (16-11=5)

and i also did the quiz

Hope this helps! :))

Answer 2

11 is the absolute devtion

set : { 19 16 4 9 7 }

• total sum: 19 + 16 + 4 + 9 + 7 = 55

• total integers: 5

• absolute devtion: sum of numbers/total data sinput = 55/5 = 11
