Mean absolute deviation around the mean
Mean for set 1 equals: (20+24+40+63+76+89)/6 = 312/6 = 52
Mean for set 2 equals: (41+50+58+62+72+83)/6 = 366/6 = 61
Mean absolute deviation around the mean for set 1 equals:
( |20 - 52| + |24 - 52| + |40 - 52| + |63 - 52| + |76 - 52| + |89 - 52| )/6 = (32 + 28 + 12 + 11 + 24 + 37)/6 = 144/6 = 24
Mean absolute deviation around the mean for set 2 equals:
( |41 - 61| + |50 - 61| + |58 - 61| + |62 - 61| + |72 - 61| + |83 - 61| )/6 = (20 + 11 + 3 + 1 + 11 + 22)/6 = 68/6 = 11,334
