How can you use the mean absolute deviation of two data sets to compare them?

The mean absolute deviation tells you how spread out or how clustered around the mean a set of data is. This is the variation in the data. To compare sets, a higher mean absolute deviation indicates that the data points are more spread out from the mean. A lower mean absolute deviation indicates data points are more clustered around the mean.
