Determine the mean absolute deviation of lucia spanish quiz grades.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine the mean absolute deviation of Lucia's Spanish quiz grades, we first need to calculate the mean (average) of the grades:

Mean = (74 + 81 + 86 + 92 + 74 + 85 + 90 + 89 + 78 + 80) / 10
Mean = 839 / 10
Mean = 83.9

Next, we calculate the absolute deviation of each grade from the mean:

|74 - 83.9| = 9.9
|81 - 83.9| = 2.9
|86 - 83.9| = 2.1
|92 - 83.9| = 8.1
|74 - 83.9| = 9.9
|85 - 83.9| = 1.1
|90 - 83.9| = 6.1
|89 - 83.9| = 5.1
|78 - 83.9| = 5.9
|80 - 83.9| = 3.9

Now, we find the average of these absolute deviations to get the mean absolute deviation:

Mean Absolute Deviation = (9.9 + 2.9 + 2.1 + 8.1 + 9.9 + 1.1 + 6.1 + 5.1 + 5.9 + 3.9) / 10
Mean Absolute Deviation = 54.9 / 10
Mean Absolute Deviation = 5.49

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation of Lucia's Spanish quiz grades is 5.49.
