Example mean = \frac{2 + 4 + 6 + 8}{4} = 5 MAD = \frac{3 + 1 + 1 + 3}{4} = 2 Think: For 2, 4, 6, 8: each value is 3, 1, 1, and 3 away from the mean of 5. The MAD is the mean of those distances. 1 4, 9, 5, 17, 10 Mean MAD 2 18, 11, 12, 11, 3 Mean MAD 3 1, 6, 4, 16, 13 Mean MAD 4 11, 13, 1, 17, 18 Mean MAD 5 4, 10, 5, 14, 12 Mean MAD 6 2, 3, 14, 10, 11 Mean MAD 7 14, 17, 4, 17, 3 Mean MAD 8 5, 9, 17, 17, 2 Mean MAD Daniel Math Academy \cdot danielmath.com Worksheet # 7n2pji2 \cdot Page 1 / 2 Daniel Math Academy \cdot Grade 6 Math Answer Key U.4 Mean Absolute Deviation \cdot ★★☆ Medium 1 Mean 9 \cdot MAD 3.6 2 Mean 11 \cdot MAD 3.2 3 Mean 8 \cdot MAD 5.2 4 Mean 12 \cdot MAD 4.8 5 Mean 9 \cdot MAD 3.6 6 Mean 8 \cdot MAD 4.4 7 Mean 11 \cdot MAD 6 8 Mean 10 \cdot MAD 5.6 Daniel Math Academy \cdot danielmath.com Worksheet # 7n2pji2 \cdot Answer Key \cdot Page 2 / 2
