In this worksheet, students are provided with two sets of problems, each containing 8 numbers. Students will first find the mean of each set and then enter the distance of each number from the mean. Finally, they will compute the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) for each set by calculating the average of the distances. This exercise reinforces the concepts of mean, deviation, and data variability. Each time you assign the worksheet, students will get a new set of numbers, so if you want students to practice again, assign the worksheet again.
A checkbox will be checked immediately if the entered answer is correct, and a moving progress bar will display their overall progress.
Key Features:
Common Core: MATH
Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.
