Below are the distances from jamar house to each of the the four restaurant in his town in kilometer 0.4,0.2,0.4,0.6 find the absolute deviation (MAD) of the data set

Now we can calculate the absolute deviations from the mean for each value:

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.2-0.4|=0.2

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.6-0.4|=0.2

And adding these 4 values and dividing by 4we got the MAD on this case:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following dataset given:

0.4,0.2,0.4,0.6

In order to calculate the MAD we need to calculate the sample mean first with this formula:

Replacing we got:

Now we can calculate the absolute deviations from the mean for each value:

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.2-0.4|=0.2

|0.4-0.4|=0

|0.6-0.4|=0.2

And adding these 4 values and dividing by 4we got the MAD on this case:

0.1
