I don't use this website to cheat but can someone tell me how to find the MAD (mean absolute deviation)
add all the numbers up then divide it by how many numbers like 12 13 20 it would be 3 divide by the sum of those three nubers thats mean and absolute is fining absolute value like -3=3 deviation is difference between mean
Thank you so much👍
Certainly! To calculate the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD), follow these steps:
1. Start by finding the mean of the data set you have. The mean is calculated by summing up all the values in the data set and then dividing by the total number of values.
2. Next, subtract the mean from each data point to find the deviation of each value from the mean.
3. Once you have the deviation for each data point, take the absolute value of each deviation. This means removing any negative signs and considering only the magnitude of each deviation.
4. Sum up all the absolute deviations you calculated in the previous step.
5. Finally, divide the sum of the absolute deviations by the total number of data points to obtain the Mean Absolute Deviation.
By following these steps, you will be able to find the MAD of your data set.
