a local weather station collected the 12 p.m. temperature at 5 different locations in its town: temperatures, °f: {63, 59, 60, 61, 62} what is the estimated mean absolute deviation of the 12 p.m. temperatures in the town? 1.2°f 1.4°f 6°f 61°f

a local weather station collected the 12 p.m. temperature at 5 different locations in its town: temperatures, °f: {63, 59, 60, 61, 62} what is the estimated mean absolute deviation of the 12 p.m. temperatures in the town? 1.2°f 1.4°f 6°f 61°f

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the mean

$\bar{x}=\frac{63 + 59+60 + 61+62}{5}=\frac{305}{5}=61$

Step2: Calculate the absolute - deviations

$|63 - 61|=2$, $|59 - 61| = 2$, $|60 - 61|=1$, $|61 - 61| = 0$, $|62 - 61|=1$

Step3: Calculate the mean absolute deviation

$MAD=\frac{2 + 2+1 + 0+1}{5}=\frac{6}{5}=1.2$

Answer:

  1. $1.2^{\circ}F$
