To find the mean absolute deviation, we first need to find the mean of the data set. The mean is found by adding up all the values and dividing by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of the values is 51 + 60 + 25 + 15 + 20 + 5 + 35 = 211. There are 7 values in the data set, so we divide the sum by 7 to find the mean: 211/7 = <<211/7=30.14>>30.14.
The divisor for the mean absolute deviation is the mean, which is 30.14.
Sarina tracks her time spent on homework each night for a week, in minutes. She collects the following times: 51, 60, 25, 15, 20, 5, 35. When she solves for the mean absolute deviation, what number will she use for the divisor?
