What is Mean Absolute Deviation (M.A.D)?

Back

Mean Absolute Deviation (M.A.D) is a measure of the dispersion or spread of a set of data points. It represents the average distance between each data point and the mean of the dataset.

How do you calculate the Mean Absolute Deviation?

Back

1. Find the mean of the data set. 2. Subtract the mean from each data point and take the absolute value of each result. 3. Find the average of these absolute values.

What does a low Mean Absolute Deviation indicate about a data set?

Back

A low Mean Absolute Deviation indicates that the data points are close to the mean, suggesting less variability.

What does a high Mean Absolute Deviation indicate about a data set?

Back

A high Mean Absolute Deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a wider range of values, suggesting more variability.
