| | + | This function gives the average absolute deviation of a given set of numbers. |
| | + | The Average deviation is calculated in three steps: |
| | + | #We have to find the mean. |
| | + | #To find the deviation of each value, subtract all numbers with its mean value. |
| | + | #Then find the average deviation, add all the deviation values and divide by the number of given set of numbers. |
| | + | <math>\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n xi-x}/n</math> |
| | + | <math> AVERAGE DEVIATION=SUMMATION(I=1 TO N)xi-x(bar)[mean]/n<math>. Here xi is the observation,x(bar) is the mean and n is the number of given set of observations.Here we have to give more than one arguments and arguments can be either numbers , names,logical values, arrays or cell refercences that contain numbers.This function will give the result as error,when the text couldn't convert in to numbers. |
