What is the mean absolute deviation (mad) of the data set? {2, 5, 6, 12, 15}

Mean absolute deviation  : 4 .4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : {2, 5, 6, 12, 15}.

To find : What is the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the data set.

Solution : We have given that {2, 5, 6, 12, 15}.

Mean  : .

Mean :  .

Absolute  deviations: distance between each data point and the mean.

∣8−2∣=6

∣8−5∣=3.

∣8−6∣=2.

∣8−12∣= 4.

∣8−15∣=7.

Add the distances together:

6 +3 +2 +4 +7 = 22.

MAD :  Divide the sum by the number of data points.

Mean absolute deviation  : .

Mean absolute deviation  :  .

Mean absolute deviation  : 4 .4

Therefore, Mean absolute deviation  : 4 .4

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
