Mean Absolute Deviation is  1.6

Step-by-step explanation

MEAN ABSOLUTE DEVIATION FORMULA MAD = Ex -X1 n X = data X - mean or the average cadd all values and divide with total number n = number of values of values MAD = Mean Absolute deviation GIVEN ! X = 98, 92, 94, 97, 97 X = 98 + 92 + 96 + 97+ 97 = 480 : 5 = 96 n = 5 SOLUTION: SUBSTITUTE ALL THE VALUES OR GIVEN TO THE FOR MULA MAD = 8/ X-X1 n = (98-96)+ (/92-961 + 194-94+197-960 +(197-94) 5 2 + ( 4) + 0+ 1+1 ( 1- 4 ) is an absolute value so it will become positive ) 5 MAD = or 1.4 MAD = 1.6
