Question

use the dot plot to answer the question. what is the absolute deviation for the data point at 1 if the mean is 5? options: 1, 2, 4, 5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall absolute deviation formula

Absolute deviation is $|x - \bar{x}|$, where $x$ is data point, $\bar{x}$ is mean.

Step2: Substitute values

Here, $x = 1$, $\bar{x} = 5$. So $|1 - 5| = |-4| = 4$.

Answer:

4 (corresponding to the option with value 4)
