No, as its name suggests, it is a relative measure.
No.
no the standard deviation is not equal to mean of absolute distance from the mean
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
You calculate the mean.For each observation, you calculate its deviation from the mean.Convert the deviation to absolute deviation.Calculate the mean of these absolute deviations.
absolute deviation is a difference between say two numbers. The result has the same units as the two numbers have. Relative deviation is a ratio and so it is a pure number without any units.
No, as its name suggests, it is a relative measure.
No.
No. Mean absolute deviation is usually greater than 0. It is 0 only if all the values are exactly the same - in which case there is no point in calculating a deviation! The average deviation is always (by definition) = 0

The relative standard deviation is the absolute value of the ration of the sample mean to the sample standard deviation. This value appears to be quite small; however, without comparative data it is difficult to know what to make of it. In some contexts it might even be considered large.
You calculate the mean.For each observation, you calculate its deviation from the mean.Convert the deviation to absolute deviation.Calculate the mean of these absolute deviations.
The mean absolute deviation of this problem is 6.
Yes, you can use as many combinations of absolute and relative references as you like on the same worksheet.
The mean absolute deviation is 28.5
The mean absolute deviation for a set of data is a measure of the spread of data. It is calculated as follows:Find the mean (average) value for the set of data. Call it M.For each observation, O, calculate the deviation, which is O - M.The absolute deviation is the absolute value of the deviation. If O - M is positive (or 0), the absolute value is the same. If not, it is M - O. The absolute value of O - M is written as |O - M|.Calculate the average of all the absolute deviations.One reason for using the absolute value is that the sum of the deviations will always be 0 and so will provide no useful information. The mean absolute deviation will be small for compact data sets and large for more spread out data.
