Mean Absolute Deviation (or Mean Deviation) is a part of algebra 1 (second math course) syllabus. To calculate mean absolute deviation, first we calculate how much each data is away from the mean i.e. deviation from mean. When we ignore the negative sign, we get absolute deviation. Take the average of this to get the mean absolute deviation. Thus the mean absolute deviation formula = sum of absolute deviation of each data / N, where N is the total number of data.

It is the amount by which a single measurement differs from a fixed value such as the mean.
To get a more representative idea of spread we need to take into account the actual values of each score in a data set. The absolute deviation, variance and standard deviation are such measures. The absolute and mean absolute deviation show the amount of deviation (variation) that occurs around the mean score.
MAD stands for Mean Absolute Deviation. The mean absolute deviation of a set of data is the average distance between each data value and the mean. The mean number of contacts stored and the distance each data value is from the mean is shown below. Each data value is represented by an ×.
In statistics, the median absolute deviation (MAD) is a robust measure of the variability of a univariate sample of quantitative data. It can also refer to the population parameter that is estimated by the MAD calculated from a sample.
