Which Mean Absolute Deviation (M.A.D.) would show the most variability?
answers
a-.5
b-1
c-1.5
d-2
d-2
The Mean Absolute Deviation (M.A.D.) measures the average distance between each data point and the mean of the data set. Therefore, a higher M.A.D. indicates more variability in the data set.
Among the given options, the M.A.D. of 2 (option d) would show the most variability.
