Answer:
2 | 6 | 2 | -3 | -6 | -8
-1.2
Explanation:
Step 1) Find the mean
How to find it?
Add all the numbers listed above and divide by the number of numbers in the set (6) This mean you should get 66/6=11
Step 2) Find the distance from the mean.
How do I do this?
Since you are trying to find the difference you will use the equation 11-(number)=distance
Example) 11-2=9
This will give you the answers for the second half of the table.
Step 3) Find the mean of those distances to find the mean absolute deviation.
How do I do this?
Add all the numbers on the second half of the table and then divide by 6. This will give you your mean absolute deviation.
I hope this helps! :D
