The MAD or mean absolute deviation is each numbers distance from the mean. For example if the mean is 27 and one of your numbers in your data set is 3 then 27-3 would be 24

Mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a data set is the average distance between each data value and the mean. Mean absolute deviation is a way to describe variation in a data set.
