Answer:
2 is the absolute mean deviation
Step-by-step explanation:
absolute mean deviation is
the average of the differences of the data from the average
8, 8, 4, 12
1. take the average
8+8+4+12=32 -> 32/4 = 8
2. subtract each number from this average
8 - 8 = 0
8 - 8 = 0
4 - 8 = 4 (there are no negative answers)
12 - 8 = 4
3. take the average of these subtractions
0+0+4+4=8 -> 8/4 = 2
4. answer: 2 is the absolute mean deviation
