Answer:

the MAD to this set is 6.75

Explanation:

The process is pretty long on how to find the MAD but here it goes.First you find the mean of the set( 70 )then you find the distances between all the numbers and the mean( 68 is 2 values away from being 70 so that would be 2) than you add all the distances together than divide that number by the amount of values are in the set.

hope that makes sense have a good day
