Question

The second step when calculating the Mean Absolute Deviation is

  1. Find the distance each value is from the mean
  2. Find the mean of the distances
  3. Find the mean of the data
  4. Cannot say

hintHint:

We recall the algorithm for calculating MAD and find out the step.

The correct answer is: Find the distance each value is from the mean


    Step 1 of 1:
    Algorithm for calculating MAD:
    1. Find the sum of the data values and divide the sum by the number of data values.
    2. Find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|.
    3. Find the sum of the absolute values of the differences.
    4. Divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the number of data values.
    The second step when calculating the Mean Absolute Deviation is finding the distance each value is from the mean.
    Final Answer:
    The right choice is-- a. Find the distance each value is from the mean
