The difference between each students' actual score and the mean(the red line) is another measure of variation or spread that we can investigate to tell us something about the data.
The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) is a measure of variation. Instead of measuring the full spread of the data like a range, it measures the spread between a single piece of data and the mean amount of variation.
If the MAD is a small number, in context of the data, there is low variation amongst all the data. That shows more consistency amongst the data.
If the MAD is a large number, in context of the data, there is a high variation amongst all the data. That shows more inconsistencies amongst the data.
