Answer :

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps

1 Find the mean of the data set

2 Subtract the mean from each value ( ignore the minus signs ), that is the distance of each value from the mean

3. Find the mean of 2

mean = [tex]\frac{9+7+6+8+7+5}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{42}{6}[/tex] = 7

value   distance

  9       | 9 - 7 | = 2

   7      | 7 - 7  | = 0

   6      | 6 - 7 | = 1

   8      | 8 - 7 | = 1

   7      | 7 - 7 | = 0

   5      | 5 - 7 | = 2

Find the mean of these values

mean absolute deviation = [tex]\frac{2+0+1+1+0+2}{6}[/tex] = 1

Hence mean absolute deviation is

What is mean absolute deviation ?

The average distance between each data point and the mean is the mean absolute deviation of a dataset ,formula used will be [tex]\frac {1}{n} \sum \limits_{i=1}^n |x_i-m(X)|[/tex]

m(X)=average value of the data set

n = number of data values

x(i) = data values in the set

How  to solve?

given data - 9,7,6,8,7,5

where n =6

mean= [tex]\frac{9+7+6+8+7+5}{6}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{42}{6}[/tex]=[tex]7[/tex]

[tex]9 | 9 - 7 | = 2 \\7 | 7 - 7 | = 0 \\6 | 6 - 7 | = 1 \\8 | 8 - 7 | = 1 \\7 | 7 - 7 | = 0 \\5 | 5 - 7 | = 2[/tex]

SUM [tex]=2+0+1+1+0+2=6[/tex]

HENCE ABSOLUTE MEAN DEVIATION IS = [tex]\frac{6}{6}[/tex]=1
