What is the mean absolute deviation of the data: 15.6, 19.8, 12.2, 21.7, 25.3, 16.5 and 19.8? round to the nearest tenth.

mean absolute deviation = ∑|(xₐ - mean )| ÷ n

where xₐ  is every term in the data set

n is total number of terms

mean for the given data set = sum of all terms ÷ total number of terms =

130.9 ÷ 7 = 18.7

mean absolute deviation = ∑|(xₐ - mean )| ÷ n

mean absolute deviation == 23.6 ÷ 7 = 3.37

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
