Description | Use the averageDeviation function to analyze the amount of spread in a list of numbers. The average deviation is a measure of how widely distributed the numbers in the numbersList are. If a math operation on finite inputs produces a non-finite output, an execution error is thrown. See math operations for more information. | ||||||
