🧮 How is MAD calculated? Level 1 support

MAD = Mean Absolute Deviation. It measures the typical distance each data point sits from the mean. Steps: (1) find the mean, (2) find each point's distance from the mean (always positive — that's the "absolute" part), (3) average those distances. ES: La DAM es la distancia típica de cada dato a la media (promedio de las distancias).
