Answer:

3.71

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean absolute deviation(MAD) of a data set is given by the formula

[tex]$ MAD =\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n |x_i-\bar{x}|$[/tex]

[tex]n[/tex] = number of data set values. Here [tex]n = 7[/tex]

[tex]\bar{x}=[/tex] mean of the data set values; [tex]\bar{x}=[/tex] [tex](14+13+16+12+17+21+26)/7[/tex] = [tex]119/7=17[/tex]

[tex]x_{i}[/tex] are the n individual values

[tex]\frac{1}{7} |14-17| + |13-17| + |16-17| + |12-17| + |17-17| + |21-17| + |26-17|\\= (3 + 4 + 5 + 1+ 0 + 4 + 9)/7\\= 26/7 = 3.71428 \\[/tex]

= [tex]3.71 \textrm{ rounded to the nearest hundredth}[/tex]  Answer
