Question

The number of toys owned by eight classmates is shown below:


4, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8, 4


Part A: What is the mean of the data? Show your work.


Part B: Use your answer from Part A to calculate the mean absolute deviation for the data. Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: 5  

Step-by-step explanation:

4+ 3+ 4+ 5+ 6+ 6+ 8+ 4= 40

so there is 8 numbers which means that we need to do 40 divided by 8=5

Part b: i dont know how to explain but the mad is  1.25.

Answer 2

The mean of given data is 5 and mean deviation is 1.25

What is mean deviation?

The mean deviation is defined as a statistical measure that is used to calculate the average deviation from the mean value of the given data set.

Mean = Sum of all observation/ Number of observation

         = 40 / 8

         = 5

X                F                XF            |$d_{i}$|             FD

3                 1                  3              2               2

4                 3                 12             1                3

5                 1                   5             0               0

6                 2                  12            1                2

8                 1                   8              3              3

Mean Deviation = ∑FD/n

                            = 10/8

                            = 1.25

Thus, The mean of given data is 5 and mean deviation is 1.25
