Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the dataset 147, 154, 156, 161, 162,
Mean is the sum of the dataset divided by the total number of dataset.
a) Mean =
b) The formula for calculating the deviation from the mean for each value is expressed as where;
Xi is value of each item
xbar is the mean = 156
Mean deviation of 147 = 147-156 = -9
Mean deviation of 154 = 154-156 = -2
Mean deviation of 156 = 156-156 = 0
Mean deviation of 161 = 161-156 = 5
Mean deviation of 162 = 162-156 = 6
c) Sum of the deviations = (-9-2+0+5+6)
= -11+11
= 0
<em>Hence the sum of deviation from the mean is 0</em>
