by Anonymous · ⭐ 1 · 🍴 0
A fun stats playground to change 5 values, measure distances to the mean, and see how MAD grows as data spreads out using deviation bars!
About this app
An interactive learning playground designed to help students grasp the concept of Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD). Users can adjust values to visualize the distance of each data point to the mean and observe how MAD acts as a measure of data spread. It features interactive graphs, adjustable variables, and a quick self-assessment quiz to test calculation skills.
Use cases
- Middle school students learning statistics and measures of variability.
- Math teachers seeking a visual aid to demonstrate deviation and spread.
- Anyone wanting to practice calculating Mean Absolute Deviation.
Features
- Interactive number line displaying data points, mean, and deviation bars.
- Adjustable 5-number data set to dynamically see changes in MAD.
- Fixed-mean simulation to observe how spreading out values increases the MAD.
- Randomized quiz mode with multiple-choice questions and streak tracking.
