Answer:

The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of a set of data is the average distance between each data value and the mean. The mean absolute deviation is the "average" of the "positive distances" of each point from the mean. The larger the MAD, the greater variability there is in the data (the data is more spread out).
