The main of the following data set is eight Find the main absolute deviation of the dataset
5.8. ,7, 8.1, 9.2 , 9.9
To find the mean absolute deviation, we first need to find the mean of the dataset:
(5.8 + 7 + 8.1 + 9.2 + 9.9) / 5 = 8
Next, we calculate the absolute deviation of each data point from the mean:
|5.8 - 8| = 2.2
|7 - 8| = 1
|8.1 - 8| = 0.1
|9.2 - 8| = 1.2
|9.9 - 8| = 1.9
Now we find the mean of these absolute deviations:
(2.2 + 1 + 0.1 + 1.2 + 1.9) / 5 = 1.28
Therefore, the mean absolute deviation of the dataset is 1.28.
