Notes  Standard: MA1D4. Students will explore variability of data by determining the mean absolute deviation (the averages of the absolute values of the deviations).  Key Vocabulary Mean-average Mode-number that occurs the most Median-the middle number Summation MEAN ABSOLUTE DEVIATION (MAD)

Summation  Summation – add the series or sequence of numbers. Symbol: Example:

Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD)  The (MAD) is used as a way to determine the variability of data. Variability means the variance (spread) in different things such as test scores, results, or other data.  The formula to find the mean absolute Deviation:

Essential Question (EQ)  How can I quantify the variability of a distribution?

Task  “Sad to Mad”

Practice--Find the MAD Find the MAD of 1, 1, 4, 7, 12  Step 1: Find the mean ( ) ( )÷5= 5  Step 2: Sum the absolute deviations from the mean ( ) |1-5|+|1-5|+|4-5|+|7-5|+|12- 5|= =18  Step 3: Divide by the number of data points ( ) 18/5=3.6

Ticket out the Door  Describe how you would find the MAD of a set of numbers.
