Q. In the data set below, what is the mean absolute deviation? \newline7,7,5,7,37, 7, 5, 7, 3 \newlineIf the answer is a decimal, round it to the nearest tenth. \newlinemean absolute deviation (MAD): __\_\_
  1. Calculate Mean: Calculate the mean of the data set 7,7,5,7,37, 7, 5, 7, 3. Add all the numbers: 7+7+5+7+3=297 + 7 + 5 + 7 + 3 = 29. Divide by the number of data points: 29/5=5.829 / 5 = 5.8. Mean = 5.85.8
  2. Find Deviations: Find the absolute deviations from the mean for each data point.\newlineFor 77: 75.8=1.2|7 - 5.8| = 1.2\newlineFor 77: 75.8=1.2|7 - 5.8| = 1.2\newlineFor 55: 55.8=0.8|5 - 5.8| = 0.8\newlineFor 77: 75.8=1.2|7 - 5.8| = 1.2\newlineFor 33: 35.8=2.8|3 - 5.8| = 2.8\newlineAbsolute deviations: 75.8=1.2|7 - 5.8| = 1.200, 75.8=1.2|7 - 5.8| = 1.200, 75.8=1.2|7 - 5.8| = 1.222, 75.8=1.2|7 - 5.8| = 1.200, 75.8=1.2|7 - 5.8| = 1.244
  3. Calculate Mean Deviations: Calculate the mean of the absolute deviations. Add all the absolute deviations: 1.2+1.2+0.8+1.2+2.8=7.21.2 + 1.2 + 0.8 + 1.2 + 2.8 = 7.2. Divide by the number of data points: 7.2/5=1.447.2 / 5 = 1.44. Mean absolute deviation = 1.441.44
  4. Round Mean Deviation: Round the mean absolute deviation to the nearest tenth.\newline1.441.44 rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.41.4.\newlineFinal mean absolute deviation = 1.41.4
