Leon counts the number of bugs he finds on his tomato plants each day and collects the following data: 18, 24, 15, 9, 10. The mean is 15.2. What is the final equation that he would use in determining the mean absolute deviation? Round each value to the nearest tenth.(2 points)

GPT 3.5 · Answer

|18-15.2|+|24-15.2|+|15-15.2|+|9-15.2|+|10-15.2|
= 2.8+8.8+0.2+6.2+5.2
= 23.2

23.2÷5= 4.6

Therefore, the final equation that Leon would use in determining the mean absolute deviation is |x-15.2| = 4.6
