2) Mean Absolute Deviation
Find the meanFind the distances from the meanFind the average of the distancesVideo Tutorial
2) Mean Absolute Deviation
Find the meano Hit [data] and type data into L1o Hit [2nd][data] and choose “1:1-Var Stats”o The mean is 58
2) Mean Absolute DeviationFind the distances from the mean of 58o Hit [data] and Arrow over to L2o Hit [data] and arrow to “FORMULA”
o Choose “1:Add/Edit Frmla”o Hit [data] and choose L1 then type “-58” [enter]o Type the absolute values of L2 into L3
2) Mean Absolute DeviationFind the mean of the distances in L3o Hit [2nd][data] and choose “1:1-Var Stats”o Make sure L3 is highlighted
o The average distance from the mean is 15.5o This is the mean absolute deviation

•We know the median is 70
•We know the interquartile range is 15
•Here are the possibilities
Class 2
90 10080706050403030
•We know the median is 75
•We know the interquartile range is 12
•Here are the possibilities
Class 1 and Class 2

Class 2
Class 1 Q3 zone
Q3 zone
•We know that both classes had the same 3rd quartile score
•Where is it possible that the 3rd quartile could be the same?
•From where to where do the Q3 zones overlap?
•It looks like 75 to 85
The answer is D.

Calls made during June: 11, 15, 10, 37, 17, 14, 9, 15What is the mean (absolute) deviation for calls made in June?
5)
Calls made during July: 13, 9, 16, 8, 17, 20, 8, 13What is the mean (absolute) deviation for calls made in July?
6)
The mean absolute deviation tells you how variable the data is. A bigger deviation means the data is more spread out.
During which month were the calls more variable?7)
13x 5.3mad
The June calls were more variable based on the higher mean absolute deviation.
