Math I UNIT QUESTION: How do you use probability to make plans and predict for the future? Standard: MM1D1-3 Today’s Question: How do you find the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a data set? Standard: MM1D3.a.
SAD to MAD • SAD stands for the Sum of the Absolute values of the Deviation • MAD stands for the Mean of the Absolute values of the Deviation
SAD to MAD Did the SAD to MAD task. NOTE: Both are a measure of spread from the mean. Both are used to compare sets of data. SAD is OK if the sets of data have the same number of data points. SAD will make the data set with the larger number of points appear to have more spread.
SAD to MAD MAD is SAD ÷ N, where N is the number of data points – that is why MAD is also called the Mean (think average) Deviation MAD normalizes the data to eliminate the bias of one data set having more points than another
SAD to MAD Both are a measure of spread from the mean. Notes on calculating SAD: Find the mean of the data Subtract the mean from each data point Take absolute value of the differences Add all the absolute values together MAD = SAD / N
Mean Absolute Deviation The mean absolute deviation of a numerical data set is the average deviation of the data from the mean.
Mean Absolute Deviation The numbers below are the golf scores for the UGA golf team. Find the mean absolute deviation of the data. 68, 70 , 72, 73, 74, 75 Mean = 72 Do the same for Georgia Tech: 66, 69, 70, 71, 74, 76
Mean Absolute Deviation The numbers below are the total points for the Woodland basketball team in its last 10 games. Find the Mean Absolute Deviation. 72, 75, 73, 99, 68, 79, 48, 60, 52, 59 11.1
