MEAN ABSOLUTE DEVIATION: PARTI
One way to describe the
or how spread out a set of
MEAN
APSOLUTE
data is, is by using
DEVIATION
Mean absolute deviation is the average
that the data points
in a set of data are from the mean.
What does deviation, or "deviate" mean?
How can it help you remember the
definition of *mean absolute deviation"?
Deviate means to depart from, or go away. This
can help remember that mean absolute
deviations is the average distance away.
STEPS TO
To find the mean absolute deviation for a set of data, follow these steps:
1. Find the
of the data set
CALCULATE
MAD.
2. Find the
from each data point and the mean
3. Find the
of those distances
Practice folwing the steps to calculate the mean absolute deviation in the problem below.
1. A police officer recorded the following speeds for the last 7 drivers that passed by:
61, 68, 63, 67, 70, 62, 64

b. Use the table to find the distance between
each data point and the mean.
