Ajewelry stand sells 5 different pairs of earrings. the earrings sell for $12, $9, $6, $8, and $10.
what is the mean absolute deviation of the prices? round to the nearest cent, if necessary.
$

The answer is $1.6

Step 1. Find the mean of all values (X = ?).
Step 2. Find the distance of all values from the mean (d1, d2, d3, d4, d5).
Step 3. Find the mean of distances (D).

x1 = $12
x2 = $9
x3 = $6
X4 = $8
x5 = $10

Step 1.
X = (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5)/5
    = (12 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 10)/5
    = 45/5
    = $9

Step 2.
d1 = 12 - 9 = 3
d2 = 9 - 9 = 0
d3 = 9 - 6 = 3
d4 = 9 - 8 = 1
d5 = 10 - 9 = 1

Step 3.
D = (d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 + d5)/5
    = (3 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 1)/5
    = 8/5
    = $1.6

I’m going to infer you said parallel.solve for yy= -1/2x+7/4lines that are parallel have the same slope, different y intercept.so we know m is -1/2then from there solve for y intercept.
