No. The absolute value refers to the distance between a number on the number line and zero. Because it measure the distanceto zero, the absolute value of a number is always positive. So, any integer that is positive will be identical to its absolute value.
No, as its name suggests, it is a relative measure.
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.
