1. Find the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) for the following data set: 10, 12, 15, 11, 13, 14

2. A small Mean Absolute Deviation indicates that the data points are:

Spread far apart from the mean

Close to the mean

Always increasing

3. The Mean Absolute Deviation measures the average distance between each data point and the of the data set.

4. Two basketball teams, Team A and Team B, scored the following points in their last 5 games:

Team A: 80, 85, 78, 82, 90

Team B: 70, 95, 65, 100, 80

Calculate the MAD for each team. Which team's scores are more consistent?

5. A data set with a MAD of 0 indicates that all data points are identical.
