    The answer is option D (10.0)

    The MAD value of 10.0, from the same data would reflect the most accurate model

    Explanation:

    The method of finding the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of data (-5, - 10, + 15) is stated below:

    Step 1

    Find the mean of the data set.

    That is, find the sum of the data values, and divide the sum by the number of data values. (mean = 0)

    Step 2

    Find the absolute value (only positive values) of the difference between each data value and the calculated mean in step 1

    That is, |data value - mean|

    Step 3

    Find the sum of the absolute values of the differences.

    (5 + 10 + 15)

    Step 4

    Finally, Divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the number of data values.[ (5 + 10 + 15) / 3 = 10]
