What is The Mean Absolute Deviation?

The mean absolute deviation of a data set is the average distance of each data point in the data set from the mean of the data set.

Given the data, 68, 70, 72, 73, 74, 75:

Mean = (68 + 70 + 72 + 73 + 74 + 75)/6 = 432/6

Mean = 72

Mean absolute deviation = [(68 - 72) + ( 70 - 72) + ( 72 - 72) + ( 73 - 72) + ( 74 - 72) + ( 75 - 72)] / 6

Mean absolute deviation = [(4) + (2) + (0) + (1) + (2) + (3)] / 6

Mean absolute deviation = 12/6

Mean absolute deviation = 2
