Question

Charles and Cole measured the height of each of their dogs. The heights (at the shoulders) are shown in the table below.Find the mean absolute deviation of the height of the dogs.OA 15OB 10OC. 3.2ODnone of these

Answer 1

step 1

Find the mean of the data set

so

mean=(10+22+15+12+16)/5

mean=75/5=15

step 2

Find the absolute value of the difference of each value with the mean

15-10=5

22-15=7

15-15=0

15-12=3

16-15=1

step 3

Adds the values and find out the average

so

(5+7+0+3+1)/5

=16/5

=3.2

therefore

the answer is 3.2
