What Is The Mean Absolute Deviation For The Data Shown In The Stemandleafplot A 6 B 93 C 97 D 19 class=

Sagot :

Mean Absolute Deviation or MAD is the mean of the difference of the numbers from the mean.

So first let's find the mean.

Data:

2, 10, 16, 21, 27, 38

Add them up and divide by how many there are:

2 + 10 + 16 + 21 + 27 + 38 = 114

114 / 6 = 19

So the mean is 19.

Now subtract the values from 19.

38 - 19 = 19
27 - 19 = 8
21 - 19 = 2
19 - 16 = 3
19 - 10 = 9
19 - 2 = 17

Find the mean of these differences.

19 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 9 + 17 = 58

58 / 6  9.7
