you!

Explanation:

Step 1: find the mean of the data

Step 2: subtract the mean from every data value

Step 3: find the absolute values of the differences from Step 2

Step 4: find the mean of the absolute values from Step 3. This is the MAD.

The mean and absolute value have their usual definitions.

The mean is the sum of a set of numbers, divided by the number of numbers in the set.

The absolute value is the numerical value of a number with its sign changed to positive, if it isn't already. For example, |-1| = 1 and |1| = 1. The vertical bars signify the absolute value of their contents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only exception to that is that when you have a negative outside of the absolute value symbol, you will get a negative answer.

Ex: -|3| = -3
