Which statements are true about mean absolute deviation? Select all that apply.

Mean absolute deviation (MAD) is the average distance of the data values from the mean, so it measures spread rather than center. Because it uses distances from the mean, extreme values can increase the MAD, so it is impacted by outliers. A higher MAD means the values are generally farther from the mean; a lower MAD means they are closer, so D is false.
