Mean Absolute Deviation
If I have understood the question correctly, despite your challenging spelling, the standard deviation is the square root of the average of the squared deviations while the mean absolute deviation is the average of the deviation. One consequence of this difference is that a large deviation affects the standard deviation more than it affects the mean absolute deviation.
Absolute deviation from what?
The mean absolute deviation is 5
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
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
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.
The mean absolute deviation of this problem is 6.
The mean absolute deviation is 28.5
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.
Mean Absolute Deviation
The range and mean absolute deviation are: Range = 29 Mean absolute deviation = 8.8
no the standard deviation is not equal to mean of absolute distance from the mean
interquartile range or mean absolute deviation.
* * * * *No it is not.Step 1: Calculate the mean = sum of observations/number of observations.Step 2: For each observation, x, calculate deviation = x - mean.Step 3: Sum together the NON_NEGATIVE values of the above deviations.Step 4: Divide by the number of observations.That is the mean absolute deviation, not the rubbish given below!

The mean deviation of any set of numbers is always zero and so the absolute mean deviation is also always zero.
