Answer:The mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the data set=2.17

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is also called the Mean deviation which tells us the variation and average distance of the mean and each  data value in a data set.

Given the data set

3, 10, 6, 9, 7, 4

First find the mean

Mean  =Sum of data set / Number of data set

=3+10+ 6 +9 + 7+ 4/ 6 =39/6 = 6.5

Next step is to subtract each data set from the mean and ignoring any negative sign accompanied to find the distance from the mean

Value  distance from mean

3,        6.5 -3             3.5

10       6.5 -10           3.5

6,       6.5-6             0.5

9,        6.5 -9            2.5

7,         6.5 -7            0.5

4            6.5 -4         2. 5

Last step is to find the mean of the distances which is

Mean Deviation = (3.5+ 3.5+ 0.5+ 2.5+0.5+ 2.5) /  6

=13/6

=2.166666 rounded up to 2.17
