The mean absolute deviation can be calculated by first finding the mean of the dataset, then finding the absolute difference between each data point and the mean, calculating the mean of those absolute differences.

Mean: (8.4 + 9.4 + 14.2 + 5.6 + 8.3 + 9.0 + 10.2) / 7 = 9.5

Absolute differences:
|8.4 - 9.5| = 1.1
|9.4 - 9.5| = 0.1
|14.2 - 9.5| = 4.7
|5.6 - 9.5| = 3.9
|8.3 - 9.5| = 1.2
|9.0 - 9.5| = 0.5
|10.2 - 9.5| = 0.7

Mean absolute deviation: (1.1 + 0.1 + 4.7 + 3.9 + 1.2 + 0.5 + 0.7) / 7 ≈ 1.7

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation of the dataset is approximately 1.7. So the correct response is:
1.7
