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? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the mean absolute deviation, Sarina will use the mean of the times she tracked as the divisor.

Mean = (51 + 60 + 25 + 15 + 20 + 5 + 35) / 7
Mean = 211 / 7
Mean = 30.143

So, Sarina will use 30.143 as the divisor when solving for the mean absolute deviation.
