how to find MAD

Answer 1

To find the MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation), follow these steps:

1. Calculate the mean of the data set.
2. Subtract the mean from each data point to find the deviation for each value.
3. Take the absolute value of each deviation.
4. Calculate the mean of the absolute deviations to find the MAD.

Here is the formula for calculating MAD:

MAD = Σ |X - μ| / n

Where:
- MAD = Mean Absolute Deviation
- X = Data point
- μ = Mean of the data set
- n = Number of data points
