Mean absolute deviation is a way to describe variation in a data set. Mean absolute deviation helps us get a sense of how "spread out" the values in a data set are. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/Oratxu6gscuquGwoMyuDlOPqg5bQmTT_4_9zkhnlmjE1umgQ5oyLBqRqcSXAhlW-OhBt1YhuOWXscL4z8EDFX0Bg Mean absolute deviation (MAD) Mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a data set is the average distance between each data value and the mean.

The graph shows the number of bubbles blown by four people. The mean is found by adding all the values and dividing by the number of data points. The MAD is calculated by finding the average of the absolute differences from the mean. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/PGSQrj24qymmwdkCkzWuG4U-XlOxBF96Bcceq_wlPxgoxV0XyKIfU8xZ3u0OJ5JjXHmd9RQsbti-eMNU8RPfn-4H Mean absolute deviation example This lesson teaches how to calculate the mean and mean absolute deviation (MAD) using a bar graph.
