Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given Question
For the expression [tex]2x-5[/tex], evaluate it for [tex]x = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)[/tex].
From the evaluated set of values the mean absolute deviation rounded off to the nearest tenth is:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluating the expression for the given values of x:
[tex]x=0 \implies 2(0)-5=-5[/tex]
[tex]x=1 \implies 2(1)-5=-3[/tex]
[tex]x=2 \implies 2(2)-5=-1[/tex]
[tex]x=3 \implies 2(3)-5=1[/tex]
[tex]x=4 \implies 2(4)-5=3[/tex]
[tex]x=5 \implies 2(5)-5=5[/tex]
Evaluated set of values: -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5
To find the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD):
- Calculate the mean (by summing the data values and dividing by the number of values)
- Subtract the mean from each value in the data set and take the absolute value of each result.
- Sum the absolute values from step 2.
- Divide by the number of values.
[tex]\sf Mean=\dfrac{(-5)+(-3)+(-1)+1+3+5}{6}=0[/tex]
Absolute values:
[tex]\sf|-5-0|=5[/tex]
[tex]\sf|-3-0|=3[/tex]
[tex]\sf|-1-0|=1[/tex]
[tex]\sf|1-0|=1[/tex]
[tex]\sf|3-0|=3[/tex]
[tex]\sf|5-0|=5[/tex]
Sum of absolute values = 18
[tex]\sf \implies MAD=\dfrac{18}{6}=3[/tex]
