Answer:

The average absolute deviation (or mean absolute deviation (MAD)) about any certain point (or 'avg. absolute deviation' only) of a data set is the average of the absolute deviations or the positive difference of the given data and that certain value (generally central values). It is a summary statistic of statistical dispersion or variability. In the general form, the central point can be the mean, median, mode, or the result of any other measure of central tendency or any random data point related to the given data set. The absolute values of the difference, between the data points and their central tendency, are totaled and divided by the number of data points.

Measures of dispersion

Edit

Several measures of statistical dispersion are defined in terms of the absolute deviation. The term "average absolute deviation" does not uniquely identify a measure of statistical dispersion, as there are several measures that can be used to measure absolute deviations, and there are several measures of central tendency that can be used as well. Thus, to uniquely identify the absolute deviation it is necessary to specify both the measure of deviation and the measure of central tendency. Unfortunately, the statistical literature has not yet adopted a standard notation, as both the mean absolute deviation around the mean and the median absolute deviation around the median have been denoted by their initials "MAD" in the literature, which may lead to confusion, since in general, they may have values considerably different from each other.

Mean absolute deviation around a central point

Edit

For arbitrary differences (not around a central point), see Mean absolute difference.

The mean absolute deviation of a set {x1, x2, ..., xn} is

{\displaystyle {\frac {1}{n}}\sum _{i=1}^{n}|x_{i}-m(X)|.} \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n |x_i-m(X)|.

The choice of measure of central tendency, {\displaystyle m(X)} m(X), has a marked effect on the value of the mean deviation. For example, for the data set {2, 2, 3, 4, 14}:

Which statement is true about f(x) = –6|x + 5| – 2?
Ad libitum [116K]
The graph of f(x) opens upward

For the values of x < -5 the function is a line with negative slope, for the values of x > - 5 the function is a line with positive slope.

The two lines intercept in the point (-5,-2). That is the vertex of the function; a minimum value. So, all the other points are above the line y = -2.

zavuch27 [327]
It may be easier to start from

.. a(x +3)(x -1) = 0
.. a(x^2 +2x -3) = 0

The quadratic
.. ax^2 +bx +c = 0 will have solutions -3 and 1 for ...

.. a ≠ 0
.. b = 2a
.. c = -3a
