Answer:
The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) for her dataset is 4.
Detailed explanation:
Vivian collected data from local cyclists to find the typical miles they rode daily.
Her recorded figures are shown below:
7, 10, 13, 4, 12, 21, 10, 3



= 10

Data point Distance from mean
1 7 7 - 10 = | -3 | = 3
2. 10 10 - 10 = | 0 | = 0
3. 13 13 - 10 = | 3 | = 3
4. 4 4 - 10 = | -6 | = 6
5. 12 12 - 10 = | 2 | = 2
6. 21 21 - 10 = | 11 | = 11
7. 10 10 - 10 = | 0 | = 0
8. 3 3 - 10 = | -7 | = 7
Calculating the total distance gives us 3 + 0 + 3 + 6 + 2 + 11 + 0 + 7 = 32
Thus, MAD =
= 4
The Mean Absolute Deviation of this data reflects an average variation of 4 miles that cyclists ride daily.
