Find the mean absolute
deviation of the set of data.
4, 5, 8, 8, 10 (I also need on this)

MAD = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When I calculated this by hand I got 0. To find the MAD:

1. You first need to find the mean of the numbers.

4 + 5 + 8 + 8 + 10 = 35

35/5 = 7

the mean value = 7

2. Then you must find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean: |data value – mean|

(4 - 7) = -3

(5 - 7) = -2

(8 - 7) = 1

(8 - 7) = 1

(10 - 7) = 3

3. Add the difference values up

(-3) + (-2) + 1 + 1 +3 = 0

4. Divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the number of data values.

0/5 = 0
