Question

Find the MAD for the following set: 85, 90, 68, 75, 79

  1. 79.4
  2. 6.48
  3. 32.4
  4. 79

hintHint:

Algorithm for calculating MAD:
  1. To find the mean absolute deviation of the data, start by finding the mean of the data set.
  2. Find the sum of the data values and divide the sum by the number of data values.
  3. Find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|.
  4. Find the sum of the absolute values of the differences.
  5. Divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the number of data values.

The correct answer is: 6.48


    Step 1 of 2:
    Given the dataset, 85, 90, 68, 75, 79
    The mean is fraction numerator 85 plus 90 plus 68 plus 75 plus 79 over denominator 5 end fraction = 79.4
    Step 2 of 2:
    MAD = 
    fraction numerator open vertical bar 85 minus 79.4 close vertical bar plus open vertical bar 90 minus 79.4 close vertical bar plus open vertical bar 68 minus 79.4 close vertical bar plus open vertical bar 75 minus 79.4 close vertical bar plus open vertical bar 79 minus 79.4 close vertical bar over denominator 5 end fraction
    = 6.48
    So, the MAD is 6.48
    Final Answer:
    The right choice is-- b. 6.48
