Answer:

C. The mean absolute deviation is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the mean absolute deviation, follow the following steps:

  1. Find the absolute distance of each data from the mean.
  2. Add the distances so obtained
  3. Divide the sum by no of given data to get the mean absolute deviation.

Let's work it out.

STEP: 1

|9 - 14| = 5

|13 - 14| = 1

|14 - 14| = 0

|15 - 14| = 1

|15 - 14| = 1

|18 - 14| = 4

STEP: 2

5 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 12

STEP: 3
