The following data shows the weight, in pounds, of 6 boxes: 5, 3, 3, 4, 5, 4 what is the value of the mean absolute deviation of the weight of the boxes, and what does it represent about the weight of a box? (1 point) 1.2 pounds; on average, the weight of a box varies 1.2 pounds from the mean of 4 pounds 0.7 pound; the weight of 50% of the boxes is greater than 0.7 pound 1.2 pounds; the weight of 50% of the boxes is greater than 1.2 pounds 0.7 pound; on average, the weight of a box varies 0.7 pound from the mean of 4 pounds

Hi!

To find the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of the weight of the boxes, first find the mean.

5 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 4 = 24

24/6 = 4

Now find the absolute distance from the mean for each of the numbers by subtracting the mean from each of the numbers. It doesn't matter if it's negative.

5 - 4 = 1

3 - 4 = 1

3 - 4 = 1

4 - 4 = 0

5 - 4 = 1

4 - 4 = 0

Now find the mean of those numbers.

1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 4

4/6 = 0.7

So now we know the answer is either B or D.

B. 0.7 pound; the weight of 50% of the boxes is greater than 0.7 pound

D. 0.7 pound; on average, the weight of a box varies 0.7 pound from the mean of 4 pounds

The answer is D. Let me know if you don't understand that.

Hope this helps! :)

i think the correct option is the second option.

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
