Concept explainers
To explain: Why the mean absolute deviation might be useful considering two real-world distributions with the same mean and median?
Answer to Problem 14HP
Mean absolute deviation can be used to describe a data set and can be used to how the values of the data set are spread.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Why the mean absolute deviation might be useful considering two real-world distributions with the same mean and median?
Mean absolute deviation is the average distance between each data value and the mean of the data set.
It can be used to describe the variation in a data set and to sense how the data has been spread in the data set.
