Explanation of Solution
Given information:Alicia is finding the Mean Absolute Deviation of the data set
Formula used:
The Mean of a given set of values is the average of the given set of values.
The Mean Absolute Deviation of a given set of values is the average of deviation of each value from the mean value.
Calculation:
The calculation done by Alicia is shown below
Alicia calculated the value of mean by the wrong formulabecause of which the answer is incorrect.
Hence the error in the calculation is mean value.
The correct value of
The Mean Absolute Deviation for the set
Hence the error in the calculation is mean value and the correct answer is
