The mean absolute deviation of highway fuel economy of various popular vehicles is 4.9
How to find mean absolute deviation?
Find the mean of the data set
= (38 + 48 + 25 + 35 + 33 + 37 + 32 + 34 + 23 + 30) / 10
= 335 / 10
= 33.5
Mean deviation of each set;
38 - 33.5 = 4.5
48 - 33.5 =14.5
25 - 33.5 = -8.5
35 - 33.5 = 1.5
33 - 33 .5 = -0.5
37 - 33.5 = 3.5
32 - 33.5 = -1.5
34 - 33.5 = 0.5
23 - 33.5 = -10.5
30 - 33.5 = -3.5
Absolute deviation of each value
|4.5| = 4.5
|14.5| = 14.5
|8.5| = 8.5
|1.5| = 1.5
|-0.5| = 0.5
|3.5| = 3.5
|-1.5| = 1.5
|0.5| = 0.5
|-10.5| = 10.5
|-3.5| = 3.5
Total absolute deviation = 4.5 + 14.5 + 8.5 + 1.5 + 0.5 + 3.5 + 1.5 + 0.5 + 10.5 + 3.5
= 49
Mean absolute deviation = Total absolute deviation / mean
= 49/10
= 4.9
