Question

find a. the mean; b. the deviation from the mean for each data item; and c. the sum of the deviations in part (b) for the following group of data items. 65, 75, 70, 65, 80 a. the mean is 71. (simplify your answer.) b. complete the following table by entering the deviations for each data value. 65 75 70 65 80 (simplify your answers.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate deviation for 65

Deviation = \(65 - 71=-6\)

Step2: Calculate deviation for 75

Deviation = \(75 - 71 = 4\)

Step3: Calculate deviation for 70

Deviation = \(70 - 71=-1\)

Step4: Calculate deviation for 65

Deviation = \(65 - 71=-6\)

Step5: Calculate deviation for 80

Deviation = \(80 - 71 = 9\)

Answer:

-6,4,-1,-6,9
