Mean Absolute Deviation, Variance, & Standard Deviation

In this video I explain how to use mean deviation, mean absolute deviation, variance, and standard deviation to assess dispersion in interval or ratio level data. I discuss each concept and practice calculating with a sample set of data, and then consider why it's so important to estimate the parameters of the population.
