The absolute value is used in the calculation of mean absolute deviation to eliminate negative differences. By taking the absolute value of each difference, it ensures that all values are positive, allowing for an accurate measure of the average deviation from the mean.
An absolute deviation is the difference between a given value and a variate value in statistics, or, in target shooting, the shortest distance between the centre of the target and the point where the projectile hit.
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
Because otherwise it would not be the mean absolutedeviation!
No, as its name suggests, it is a relative measure.
if no absolute value is used the sum is zero.

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.

Mean absolute deviation = sum[|x-mean(x)|]/n Where mean(x) = sum(x)/n and n is the number of observations. |y| denotes the absolute value of y.
You do not have absolute deviation in isolation. Absolute deviation is usually defined around some measure of central tendency - usually the mean but it could be another measure. The absolute deviation of an observation x, about a measure m is |x - m| which is the non-negative value of (x - m). That is, |x - m| = x - m if x ≥ m and m - x if x < m
The range, median, mean, variance, standard deviation, absolute deviation, skewness, kurtosis, percentiles, quartiles, inter-quartile range - take your pick. It would have been simpler to ask which value IS in the data set!
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.
It means that the observations are all close to their mean value.
