Answer:

2.8

Explanation:

To find the mean aboslute deviation, you first need to find the mean:

(4 + 6 + 7 + 10 + 13)/5 = 8

Then, subtract the mean from each value, and take the abosulte value. Absolute value is essentially the same number, but if it is negative, make it positive.

4 - 8 = -4 = 4

6 - 8 = -2 = 2

7 - 8 = -1 = 1

10 - 8 = 2 = 2

13 - 8 = 5 = 5

Then, take the mean of all of these values:

(4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 5)/5 = 2.8
