What are the three steps you need to follow in order to calculated the mean absolute deviation (MAD)? |
Today's Task:
- With your group members, find the minimum and maximum values of the data set.
- Calculate the mean, median, mode, and range of the data set.
- Determine if there is an outlier in the data set. If there is, identify it. If there is an outlier, determine which number best represents the middle of this particular set of data ~ the mean or the median.
- Calculate the mean absolute deviation of this set of data.
