what is the mean absolute deviation of her math scores?
5.4
6.4
7.8
8.8

First step is to add the given data and find the average. (72+65+75+88+90)/5=78

Then, subtract the average from each of the data and get the absolute values.
72-78 = 6
65-78 = 13
75-78 = 3
88-78 = 10
90-78 = 12

Next, add these values and get their average as well.
(6+13+3+10+12)/5=8.8

8.8 is the final answer.
