The first step is to find out what the deviation is from: the mean, median, some other fixed value. Whatever it is, call it m.
For each observation x, calculate the absolute deviation, which is x - m or m - x, whichever is positive or zero. Finally, calculate the mean value (arithmetic average) of this set.

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.
no the standard deviation is not equal to mean of absolute distance from the mean
The range and mean absolute deviation are: Range = 29 Mean absolute deviation = 8.8
interquartile range or mean absolute deviation.
