Mean Absolute Deviation ( MAD )

The MAD is the average distance of all of the elements in a data set from the mean of the same data set
You can think of it as how far each piece of information is from the average
If you look at MAD you have the mean which is the average, the absolute value, and deviation.
The MAD indicates how spread out your data set is.
A large MAD indicates a data set more spread out relative to the mean.
A small MAD indicates a data set less spread out relative to the mean.

This video helps with the following Math Standard
MGSE9-12.S.ID.2 Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center
(median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, mean absolute deviation, standard deviation) of
two or more different data sets.

Thanks, this helps more than my actual teacher does.

I didn’t pay attention in class today and I was struggling. I stg I think I’m a pro at MAD after watching this video.

[maddyhuh]

Currently crying because I can’t find the answers and my teacher doesn’t help🤝😃

if only they would teach up math like this: short and gets to the point

[carryhub]

took a week for my teacher to tell me this.. and i couldn't figure it out, this works in 3 minutes

[shrekwazowski]

unlike my school, this actually makes sense. thank you.

mom: youtube doesn't help with anything it's just a waste of time.
me: who watches youtube to help me with my schoolwork bc it's more helpful than my actual teacher.

This video is better than the way teachers try to teach math. I can understand better watching this than listening to my math teacher. Thank you MooMooMath!

[hadeelabuodwan]

I really needed watching this before my exam because I did not attend 1 online lesson

[woooo]

He helped me a lot . I'm 5th grade but 6th grade math is getting easier than 5th grade math!

[kirkbrianventura]

I’m so sad that I forgot this and I have to redo this in 8th grade

[calebpena]

Congratulations, you got a like, you managed to do something my teacher will never do. Teach me something without blowing off my top.

[KevBloxYT]

Nah this guy deserves a like and a sub. I learned more in 2 mins than I learned in 45 mins thank you!

[Jenn.]

I am math illiterate LOL always feel like I can't help my son with his math and your video the way you explained it explained it perfectly you'll never understand just how much you are helping not just students but the parents that are so desperate to help their children thank you so much for your video

[robertheuberger]

Fantastic, thank you for your simple but clarifying discussion.

[maysonplatt]

Thank you beautiful human, you just saved my ass😂

[DanaAljuwaiber]

This actually helps more than the teacher I looked for so many videos and you’re the only one that gave me thank you I subscribed and liked

I was about to calculate this MAD, but I found that MAD has two different definitions: 1.) The same as defined in this video; 2.) Defined as just another name for MAE (Mean Absolute Error). In addition, the acronym may lead some users to expand it as "Mean Absolute Difference", but this is yet another different animal.

Well this is fun, my teacher expected us to know this without telling us anything about it, I think this is more complex than it should be.

TYVM. This was very helpful. Well explained with no filler.
