  3. Mean absolute deviation • Measures the average amount that the items of a data set differ from the mean of the set. • Find the mean • Find the difference of each value from the mean • Subtract the smaller value from the larger value, so each difference is positive • Find the mean absolute deviation by averaging the differences

  4. Hours worked on a Saturday: 4, 5, 7, 12 • Mean = (4 + 5 + 7 + 12)/ 4 = 7 • Deviations from the mean = 3, 2 , 0, 5 • Mean absolute deviation = (3 + 2 + 0 + 5)/4 = 10/4 = 2.5
