Diane is a camp counselor she designed a new obstacle course and test the course with three friends the dot plot shows the time it takes to complete the obstacle course dean. The meantime equals seven minutes so what is the mean absolute deviation or NAD of the times we have numbers on the dot plot we have numbers 56 78 9101112 and 13 and then we have a dot on the five a dot on the six and 1 dot on the 10 so again what is the mad times
To find the mean absolute deviation (MAD), we first need to calculate the mean of the times taken to complete the obstacle course:
Mean = (5 + 6 + 10) / 3 = 7 minutes
Next, we calculate the absolute deviations from the mean for each data point:
|5 - 7| = 2
|6 - 7| = 1
|10 - 7| = 3
Now, we find the mean of these absolute deviations:
MAD = (2 + 1 + 3) / 3 = 6 / 3 = 2
Therefore, the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of the times taken to complete the obstacle course is 2 minutes.
