Question

juanita is on the basketball team and played in 30 games last month. a sample of the number of points she scored in 10 of the games is shown in the table below. youre trying to find the mean absolute deviation for this sample. start by recording the distance from the mean, 17, for each game in the sample. number of points scored: points: 29, 1, 22, 19, 12, 4, 16, 24, 22, 21; distance from 17: 12, 16, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank

Explanation:

Step1: Recall distance formula

The distance from a number \( x \) to a mean \( \mu \) is \( |x - \mu| \). Here, \( \mu = 17 \) and the next point is 22.

Step2: Calculate the distance

Compute \( |22 - 17| = |5| = 5 \).

Answer:

5
