Answer :

Given the set of number:

7, 10, 10, 14, 14, 17,

We had the mean as 12.

we are to find the mean absolute deviation.

in order to get the mean absolute deviation (MAD), we need to know its formular first.

Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) = 1/n{|x-m|

where:

{ = summation

n = total number of data

x = the values given

m = mean

MAD = 1/6(|7-12| + |10-12| + |10-12| + |14-12| + |14-12| + |17-12)

MAD = 1/6(|-5| + |-2| + |-2| + |2| + |2| + |5|)

MAD = 1/6(18)

MAD = 3

Therefore, option is option D.
