You don't need to. The mean deviation is, by definition, zero.

Is a standard deviation dependent on the mean?

To find the standard deviation, you must first compute the mean for the data set. So the answer is yes. Just have a look at the 5 steps needed to compute a standard deviation and you will see why the answer is yes. In reality, people most often use calculators or computers to do this. However, it is good to understand what they are doing. 1. Compute the deviation by subtracting the mean from each value. 2. Square each individual deviation. 3. Add up the squared deviations. 4. Divide by one less than the sample size. 5. Take the square root


Can you compute for mean absolute deviation with only 2 numbers?

Yes, it is 0.5*abs(a-b), where "abs" represents the absolute function: that is, a-b or b-a, whichever is greater.


Is the range used to compute the median or standard deviation?

Neither.


Why do we have to compute for the mean median mode and standard deviation?

To obtain a much better, simpler, and more practical understanding of the data distribution.

There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. In order to compute a mean and a standard deviation, you need at least two data points, but the question only gave one. Please restate the question.

What is the mean absolute deviation of 8590687579?

None.The mean of a single number is itself.Therefore deviation from the mean = 0Therefore absolute deviation = 0Therefore mean absolute deviation = 0None.The mean of a single number is itself.Therefore deviation from the mean = 0Therefore absolute deviation = 0Therefore mean absolute deviation = 0None.The mean of a single number is itself.Therefore deviation from the mean = 0Therefore absolute deviation = 0Therefore mean absolute deviation = 0None.The mean of a single number is itself.Therefore deviation from the mean = 0Therefore absolute deviation = 0Therefore mean absolute deviation = 0

No. The mean deviation is 0. Always.


How do you calculate mean average deviation?

The mean average deviation is the same as the mean deviation (or the average deviation) and they are, by definition, 0.
