Question

What is the mean and MAD of this data set? (image below)

Answer 1

Mean = 8 gerbils

MAD = 4.29 gerbils

Explanation:

Find the mean:

Mean= 0+3+6+9+11+13+14 ÷ 7

Mean = 56 ÷ 7

Mean = 8 gerbils

you have to find the distance of each value of gerbil from the mean

8,5,2,1,3,5,6

MAD = 9+6+3+0+2+4+5 ÷ 7

MAD = 30 ÷ 7

MAD = 4.29 gerbils
