The data set represents the ages of players in a chess club. 27, 34, 38, 16, 22, 45, 54, 60. what is the mean absolute deviation of the data set?

The mean absolute deviation of the data set is:

                                 12.25

The data points are given as follows:

       27, 34, 38, 16, 22, 45, 54, 60.

  Total number of data points= 8

The mean of these data points is the average of the data points and is calculated as follows:

The absolute deviation of these data  points is calculated as follows:

x        Absolute deviation|x-x'|

27      |27-37|=10

34      |34-37|=3

38      |38-37|=1

16       |16-37|=21

22      |22-37|=15

45      |45-37|=8

54       |54-37|=17

60       |60-37|=23

Now, the mean of these absolute deviation i.e. Mean absolute deviation (MAD) is:

4,000,000

Or you can also say 4 million
