Mean Absolute Deviation MAD | 6.SP.3

The video tutorial introduces the concept of Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), explaining its components: mean, absolute value, and deviation. It demonstrates how to calculate the mean from a set of survey data and then uses this to find the MAD, illustrating the process with a dot plot. The tutorial emphasizes the significance of MAD in understanding data spread and variability, providing a practical example of its application. The lesson concludes by highlighting the value of MAD in interpreting real-world data.
