MAD is an average distance from the mean.

Mean absolute deviation is the average distance from the mean.

MAD describes a typical distance from the mean. The range only uses the maximum and minimum, so it ignores how the other points cluster.

Problem 1 of 4. A short entry task, a model, guided examples, then a new independent try. Frames are optional.

What is the mean absolute deviation of 8, 10, 10, 12?
