Question

How do you find the mean absolute deviation

Answer 1

A measure used to find how much the values in a data set vary from their mean is called as the mean absolute deviation. It is also termed as mean deviation or average absolute deviation. It can be calculated by finding the mean of the values first and then find the difference between each value and the mean

Explanation:

Answer 2

In order to find MAD follow the following steps

Explanation:

The following rules may be followed to find MAD

• Start by finding the mean of the data set.
• Find the sum of the data values, and then divide the sum by the number of data values.
• After that find the absolute value of the difference between each data value and the mean.
• Calculate the sum of the absolute values of the differences.
• Finally divide the sum of the absolute values of the differences by the number of data values.
