The absolute mean deviation is the average difference in absolute
value from the mean

   x     x-m   |x-m|
   2     -2      2 
   2     -2      2
   3     -1      1
   4      0      0
   4      0      0
   5      1      1 
   6      2      2
   6      2      2
----          ----
8)32          8)10 
m =4        AMD= 1.25

The standard deviation is s = 1.5
