Question

Which mean absolute value represents more consistency 15.2 or 10.9

Answer 1

Given :

Two mean absolute value deviation 15.2 and 10.9 .

To Find :

Which mean absolute value deviation represents more consistency 15.2 or 10.9 .

Solution :

First we should know what is mean absolute deviation ( M.A.D) is :

M.A.D of a data set is the average distance between each data value and the mean .

It also describe the variation in a data set .

Also , high variability means the data is spread out and low variability means that data is clustered .

So, low variation means more consistency and vice-versa .

Therefore , 10.9 M.A.D is more consistent .

Hence , this is the required solution .
