Lesson 3: Mean Absolute Deviation
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
- Students will be able to find the average distance between a set of data value and the mean.
- What does "distance" mean in a data set? (Can a distance from the mean ever be a negative number?)
-Why do we use the absolute distance from the mean rather than just the difference?
