Skills
- determine (mean absolute deviation for a data set of no more than 10 data points) #dok2
- use (mean absolute deviation as a measure of the average distance data are from the mean) #dok2
- analyze (a data set to find the mean and deviations from the mean) #dok2
- interpret (the meaning of the mean absolute deviation in relation to data variability) #dok2
Learning Targets
- I can determine the mean absolute deviation for a data set of up to 10 data points. #dok2
- I can use the mean absolute deviation to describe how spread out data is from the mean. #dok2
- I can analyze a data set to find how far each data point is from the mean. #dok2
- I can interpret what a larger or smaller mean absolute deviation tells us about a data set. #dok2
Big Ideas
- The mean absolute deviation (MAD) measures how much data values typically differ from the mean in a set.
- Understanding and interpreting MAD helps compare variability in small data sets.
