4/13-4/17 Mean Absolute Deviation and Two-Way Frequency Tables

The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) is a measure of how much a data set varies.

Example:

In the data set below, what is the mean absolute deviation?

1, 6, 8, 5, 5, 1, 2

Step 1: Compute the mean,x̅ .

First add all of the numbers in the data set together. Then divide by the total number of values in the data set.

null

The mean x̅ , is 4

Step 2: Take each number in the data set, subtract the mean

null

Step 3: Find the absolute value of each number. (Positive Value)

null

Step 4: Find the mean,x̅, of the new values.

First, add the numbers. Then, divide by the number of values.

The mean absolute deviation, MAD is 2.29.

Two-way Frequency Table - A statistical table that shows the frequency for two variables, the rows indicating one category and the columns indicating the other category.

Example:

null

Relative Frequency - How often something happens (frequency) divided by all outcomes.

Example:

The relative frequency of female friends that enjoy skating based on the friends surveyed is 42.3%.
