Answer:

The MAD is: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add all the terms together. So we get 49.

Then, we divide 49 by the amount of terms. There are 7 terms, so we do 49/7.

We get 7. Now we have to find out the distance between each point and the mean, which is seven.

  • 8-7= 1
  • 7-5= 2
  • 12-7=5
  • 7-4=3
  • 7-5=2
  • 8-7=1
  • 7-7=0

Now, we add all the distances together. We get 14.

Now, we divide 14 by the amount of terms, which is 7. 14/7 is 2.

The answer is b.
