The sum of deviations from the mean will always be 0 and so does not provide any useful information. The absolute deviation is one solution to tat, the other is to take the square - and then take a square root.
Given a set of numbers, and its mean, we can find the difference between each of the numbers and the mean. If we take the mean of these differences, the result is called the mean deviation of the numbers.
You most certainly can. The standard deviation, however, has better statistical properties.
Standard deviation is equal to the square root of the variance. To arrive at this work out the mean, then subtract the mean and square the result of each number. Then work out the mean of those squared differences and take the square root of that.
To Find Average Deviation 1. Find the average value of your measurements. 2. Find the difference between your first value and the average value. This is called the deviation. 3. Take the absolute value of this deviation. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for your other values. 5. Find the average of the deviations. This is the average deviation The average deviation is an estimate of how far off the actual values are from the average value, assuming that your measuring device is accurate. You can use this as the estimated error. Sometimes it is given as a number (numerical form) or as a percentage. To Find Percent Error 1. Divide the average deviation by the average value. 2. Multiply this value by 100. 3. Add the % symbol.
