First, we need to find the absolute deviations from the mean for each data point:
|18 - 15.2| = 2.8
|24 - 15.2| = 8.8
|15 - 15.2| = 0.2
|9 - 15.2| = 6.2
|10 - 15.2| = 5.2
Next, we find the mean absolute deviation by taking the average of these absolute deviations:
(2.8 + 8.8 + 0.2 + 6.2 + 5.2) / 5 = 23.2 / 5 = 4.6
Therefore, the final equation that Leon would use to determine the mean absolute deviation is:
Mean Absolute Deviation = 4.6
