Calculating Mean Absolute Deviation
The hours students reported practicing their instruments last grading quarter were 29, 20, 36, 44, 30, 32, and 40.
х
The mean hours students reported practicing their instruments is
The mean absolute deviation for the data is

mean =33

mad  = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the mean

Add up all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers)

(29+ 20+ 36+ 44+ 30+ 32+ 40)/7

231/ 7

33

To find the mean absolute deviation

take the positive difference  for each term and then divide by the number of terms

((33-29)+ (33-20)+ (36-33)+ (44-33)+ (33-30)+ (33-32)+ (40-33))/7

42/7

6

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.

ian gonna lie that is way to much
