What is the mean absolute deviation of the following dataset: 4.8, 5.9, 6.2, 10.8, 1.2, 6.4? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
(1 point)
The mean absolute deviation is calculated by finding the mean of the data set, then finding the absolute difference between each data point and the mean, and finally finding the mean of those absolute differences.
First, find the mean:
(4.8 + 5.9 + 6.2 + 10.8 + 1.2 + 6.4) / 6 = 5.55
Next, find the absolute differences between each data point and the mean:
|4.8 - 5.55| = 0.75
|5.9 - 5.55| = 0.35
|6.2 - 5.55| = 0.65
|10.8 - 5.55| = 5.25
|1.2 - 5.55| = 4.35
|6.4 - 5.55| = 0.85
Now, find the mean of these absolute differences:
(0.75 + 0.35 + 0.65 + 5.25 + 4.35 + 0.85) / 6 ≈ 2.5
So, the mean absolute deviation of the data set is 2.5 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
wrong
I apologize for the error. Let's recalculate the mean absolute deviation of the dataset correctly:
First, find the mean:
(4.8 + 5.9 + 6.2 + 10.8 + 1.2 + 6.4) / 6 = 5.55
Next, find the absolute differences between each data point and the mean:
|4.8 - 5.55| = 0.75
|5.9 - 5.55| = 0.35
|6.2 - 5.55| = 0.65
|10.8 - 5.55| = 5.25
|1.2 - 5.55| = 4.35
|6.4 - 5.55| = 0.85
Now, find the mean of these absolute differences:
(0.75 + 0.35 + 0.65 + 5.25 + 4.35 + 0.85) / 6 ≈ 2.05
Therefore, the correct mean absolute deviation of the dataset is approximately 2.1 (rounded to the nearest tenth). Thank you for your patience.
still wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's recalculate the mean absolute deviation again:
First, find the mean:
(4.8 + 5.9 + 6.2 + 10.8 + 1.2 + 6.4) / 6 = 5.55
Next, find the absolute differences between each data point and the mean:
|4.8 - 5.55| = 0.75
|5.9 - 5.55| = 0.35
|6.2 - 5.55| = 0.65
|10.8 - 5.55| = 5.25
|1.2 - 5.55| = 4.35
|6.4 - 5.55| = 0.85
Now, find the mean of these absolute differences:
(0.75 + 0.35 + 0.65 + 5.25 + 4.35 + 0.85) / 6 = 12.2 / 6 = 2.03333...
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the mean absolute deviation of the dataset is 2.0.
Therefore, the correct mean absolute deviation of the dataset is 2.0 (rounded to the nearest tenth). Thank you for pointing out the error.
ok your trolling us i know it
I apologize for the mistakes in my previous responses. Let's recalculate the mean absolute deviation of the dataset correctly one more time:
First, find the mean:
(4.8 + 5.9 + 6.2 + 10.8 + 1.2 + 6.4) / 6 = 5.55
Next, find the absolute differences between each data point and the mean:
|4.8 - 5.55| = 0.75
|5.9 - 5.55| = 0.35
|6.2 - 5.55| = 0.65
|10.8 - 5.55| = 5.25
|1.2 - 5.55| = 4.35
|6.4 - 5.55| = 0.85
Now, find the mean of these absolute differences:
(0.75 + 0.35 + 0.65 + 5.25 + 4.35 + 0.85) / 6 = 2.61
Therefore, the correct mean absolute deviation of the dataset is 2.6 (rounded to the nearest tenth). Thank you for your patience.
