he number of apples produced per tree in Zara’s orchard is 125, 198, 209, 213, 101, 178. What is the mean absolute deviation of the dataset? Round to the nearest tenth.(1 point)

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the mean of the dataset:

(125 + 198 + 209 + 213 + 101 + 178) / 6 = 1024 / 6 = 170.7

Next, we calculate the absolute deviation from the mean for each value:

|125 - 170.7| = 45.7
|198 - 170.7| = 27.3
|209 - 170.7| = 38.3
|213 - 170.7| = 42.3
|101 - 170.7| = 69.7
|178 - 170.7| = 7.3

Now, we calculate the mean of these absolute deviations:

(45.7 + 27.3 + 38.3 + 42.3 + 69.7 + 7.3) / 6 = 230.6 / 6 = 38.4

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation of the dataset is 38.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
