Average Deviation Calculator

The average deviation in which it is defined to calculate the average for the deviations for the given data. It is calculated by taking sum for all values of the deviation divided by the total number  of values in the given data set.

For finding the average deviation value, find the mean for the given data is using the formula,

`barx = (sum_(k = 1)^n (x_n))/ (n)`

Calculate the deviation value by using the calculated mean value, by using the formula given below,

`(x - barx)^2`

Average Deviation is calculated by taking average for the founded deviation value of the data set.

Average Deviation = `"(sum_(K=1)^n (x-barx^2)) / N`

` T It is nothing but the above shown formulas the population of the variance formula in which it is also called as the average deviation.`

Steps to Calculate the Average Deviation:

1. Give the average for all the given dimensions of the data set .
2. Give the difference of the initial value of the data and the average value we have found which is called as mean difference.
3. Take the all absolute value from this mean difference of the given data.
4. Repeat the steps 2 and 3 for all the other given values and find the mean difference to the data set.

Understanding example of algebraic expression is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Average Deviation Calculator - Example Problems:

Average deviation calculator - Problem 1:

Calculate the average deviation for the given data set. 35, 36, 37, 38.

Solution:

Mean: Formula for finding mean,

`barx = (sum_(k = 1)^n (x_n))/ (n)`

`barx = (35+36+37+38) / 4`

` barx = 146 / 4`

` barx =` 36.5

Calculate the deviation for the given data set from the mean,

Deviation  =  `(x - barx)^2`

= `((35-36.5)^2+(36-36.5)^2+(37-36.5)^2+(38-36.5)^2)`

Deviation = 5

Calculate the average deviation for the given data,

Average Deviation = `(sum (x-barx)^2) / (n)`

= `5 / 4`

Average Deviation   = 1.25

Average deviation calculator - Problem 2:

Calculate the average deviation for the given data set. 33, 35, 36, 38.

Solution:

Mean: Formula for finding mean,

`barx = (sum_(k = 1)^n (x_n))/ (n)`

`barx = (33+35+36+38) / 4`

` barx = 142 / 4`

` barx =` 35.5

Calculate the deviation for the given data set from the mean,

Deviation  =  `(x - barx)^2`

=`((33-35.5)^2+(35-35.5)^2+(36-35.5)^2+(38-35.5)^2)`

Deviation = 13

Calculate the average deviation for the given data,

Average Deviation = `(sum (x-barx)^2) / (n)`

= `13 / 4`

Average Deviation   =  3.25

Average deviation calculator - Problem 3:

Calculate the average deviation for the given data set. 2, 5, 6, 5, 4, 7, 8, 5.

Solution:

Mean: Formula for finding mean,

`barx = (sum_(k = 1)^n (x_n))/ (n)`

`barx = (2+5+6+5+4+7+8+5) / 8`

` barx = 42/ 8`

` barx =` 5.25

Calculate the deviation for the given data set from the mean,

Deviation  =  `(x - barx)^2`

= `((2-5.25)^2+(5-5.25)^2+(6-5.25)^2+(5-5.25)^2+(4-5.25)^2+(7-5.25)^2+(8-7.25)^2+(5-5.25)^2)`

Deviation = 16.5

Calculate the average deviation for the given data,

Average Deviation = `(sum (x-barx)^2) / (n)`

= `16.5 / 8`

Average Deviation   = 2.0625
