the number of story books owned by eight classmates is shown below:
8, 9, 9, 7, 8, 6, 9, 8
part a: what is the mean of the data? show your work. (4 points)
part b: use your answer from part a to calculate the mean absolute deviation for the data. show your work. (10 points

the mean is 8 and the absolute deviation is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the mean you add up all the numbers, then you just divide by how many numbers there are. in this case, you would do 64/8 which would then equal 8. then you see how much the numbers differ from the mean. like for your numbers, for 8 it would be 0, for 9 it would be 1, for 7 it would be 1, for 6 it would be 2. you see it? its just how far away it is from the mean. so once you do that, you should have a 6. then you do 6/4 which is 1.5. hope this helps!
