1. Create a data set with at least 5 values. 2. Write instructions that tell a friend how to find the mean absolute deviation of your data set.

KINDLY CHECK EXPLANATION

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

1) dataset:

My data(x) : 2, 4, 6, 8, 10

2) to calculate the mean absolute deviation of the data above :

Step 1: Find the mean (m) of the dataset (my data)

Mean(m) = sum of values in my data / number of observations in my data (n)

m = (2+4+6+8+10) / 5

m = 30 / 5 = 6

The mean absolute deviation(MAD) :

Sum of The absolute value of the difference between values in my data and the mean value (m) Divided by the number of observations.

MAD = (Sum of |x - m|) / n

MAD = (|2-6| + |4-6| + |6-6| + |8-6| + |10-6|) / 5

MAD = (4 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4) / 5

MAD = 12 / 5

MAD = 2.4

it would be 6xy and -16xy.
