Answer:
Below in bold.
Explanation:
Mean = (98+92+90+78+83+88+95)/7
= 89.1 to nearest tenth.
Deviations:
98 - 89.1 = 8.9
92 - 89.1 = 2.9
90 - 89.1 = 0.9
78 - 89.1 = -11.1 = 11.1 (absolute value)
83 - 89.1 = 6.1
88-89.1 = 1.1
95 - 89.1 = 5.9
So the MAD
= (8.9+2.9+0.9+11.1+6.1+1.1+5.9)/7
= 36.9/7
= 5.27
= 5.3 to nearest tenth.
