    Data set: 30, 35, 35, 40, 55

    Mean: (30 + 35 + 35 + 40 + 55) / 5 = 195/5 = 39

    30 - 39 = - 9

    35 - 39 = - 4

    35 - 39 = - 4

    40 - 39 = 1

    55 - 39 = 16

    Because we are looking for absolute deviation, this means that we disregard the negative sign of the numbers.

    (9 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 16) / 5 = 34/5 = 6.8

    The Mean Absolute Deviation is 6.8
