Mean deviation,
Definition of Mean deviation:
The average of the absolute difference between each value in a set of values and the average of all the values in that set (without any plus and minus difference) For example, the set of values 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 has an average (mean or mathematical mean) (15 ÷ 5) or 3. The difference between the mean (3) and the set value is 2, 1, 0, 1 and 2, where the absolute differences are 2, 1, 0, 1 and 2. The average value of these numbers is (6 ÷ 5) 1.2, which is the average. There is a deviation. This meaning is also known as absolute deviation and is used as a measure of dispersion when the sum of values or quantities is less. Otherwise, standard deviation is used.
