Question

The mean absolute deviation is 0.1 what conclusions can be drawn A. The data points are closer to the media. B. The data points are far from the median C. The data points are far from the mean D. The data points are close to the mean

Answer 1

D. The data points are close to the mean

Explanation:

given data

mean absolute deviation = 0.1

• The mean absolute deviation is the average of the absolute deviations of the data points relative to the mean. This means that the mean absolute deviation is averaged through the data, telling how far each data point is.
• The small value of the mean absolute deviation indicates that the mean difference (absolute deviation) between the data points and the mean is small and therefore the data points are close to the mean.
• The large value of the mean absolute deviation indicates that the data points are far above the mean.
• so correct option is D. The data points are close to the mean
