Answer:


\bar X = (0.4+0.2+0.4+0.6)/(4)= 0.4

Now we can calculate the absolute deviations from the mean for each value:

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.2-0.4|=0.2

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.6-0.4|=0.2

And adding these 4 values and dividing by 4we got the MAD on this case:


MAD = (0+ 0.2+0 +0.2)/(4)=0.1

Explanation:

We have the following dataset given:

0.4,0.2,0.4,0.6

In order to calculate the MAD we need to calculate the sample mean first with this formula:


\bar X = (\sum_(i=1)^n X_i)/(n)

Replacing we got:


\bar X = (0.4+0.2+0.4+0.6)/(4)= 0.4

Now we can calculate the absolute deviations from the mean for each value:

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.2-0.4|=0.2

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.6-0.4|=0.2

And adding these 4 values and dividing by 4we got the MAD on this case:


MAD = (0+ 0.2+0 +0.2)/(4)=0.1
