Answer: The average difference of weights of all 48 eggs from mean eight is 0.08.

Explanation:

The mean absolute deviation of a data interprets the mean distance between each data point and the mean.

When this distance goes larger it means data has greater variability

Given, 48 large eggs have a mean weight of 2.1 ounces and a mean absolute deviation of 0.08 ounces.

It means that the average difference of weights of all 48 eggs from mean eight is 0.08.
