Q. In the data set below, what is the mean absolute deviation?\newline9,3,5,7,39, 3, 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 9,3,5,7,39, 3, 5, 7, 3. Add all the numbers: 9+3+5+7+3=279 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 3 = 27. Divide by the number of data points: 27/5=5.427 / 5 = 5.4. Mean = 5.45.4
  2. Find Deviations: Find the absolute deviations from the mean for each data point.\newlineFor 99: 95.4=3.6|9 - 5.4| = 3.6\newlineFor 33: 35.4=2.4|3 - 5.4| = 2.4\newlineFor 55: 55.4=0.4|5 - 5.4| = 0.4\newlineFor 77: 75.4=1.6|7 - 5.4| = 1.6\newlineFor 33: 35.4=2.4|3 - 5.4| = 2.4\newlineList of absolute deviations: 95.4=3.6|9 - 5.4| = 3.600
  3. Calculate Mean Deviations: Calculate the mean of the absolute deviations.\newlineAdd all the absolute deviations: 3.6+2.4+0.4+1.6+2.4=10.43.6 + 2.4 + 0.4 + 1.6 + 2.4 = 10.4.\newlineDivide by the number of data points: 10.45=2.08\frac{10.4}{5} = 2.08.\newlineMean absolute deviation = 2.082.08
  4. Round Mean Deviation: Round the mean absolute deviation to the nearest tenth. \newline2.082.08 rounded to the nearest tenth is 2.12.1.\newlineFinal mean absolute deviation = 2.12.1
