First find the mean: (1+5+6+6+7+7+7+9)/8 = 48/8 = 6.
Absolute deviations from the mean: |1−6|, |5−6|, |6−6|, |6−6|, |7−6|, |7−6|, |7−6|, |9−6|
= 5, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 3. Sum = 12.
MAD = mean absolute deviation = 12/8 = 1.5
(If you compute deviations from the median (6.5) you also get the same MAD = 1.5 for this dataset.)
