On average, the height of a plant varies 3.2 inches from the mean of 6 inches.

What does the mean absolute deviation represent?

An outlier is a number that is way smaller or way larger than that of other numbers in a data set. The outlier is 22.

Mean absolute deviation =  (1/n) x ∑ l x - m(x) l

Mean without the outlier : (9 + 4 +  10 + 9 + 5+  2 +  10 + 3 + 3+  5) / 10 = 6

(1/10) x ∑ l (9 - 6) + (4 - 6) +  (10 - 6)  + (9 - 6)  + (5 - 6) +  (2 - 6) +  (10 - 6)  + (3 - 6)  + (3 - 6) + ( 5 - 6) = 3.2
