I believe the smallest would be D since even though B is a decimal with a lot of zeros in front of the #, B is still a positive # and D is a negative number being lower in the # line, so D or -200 would be the smallest
First set up a proportion
240/160 = 320/200
Cross multiply and if the left equals the right it is similar.
The answer is $1.6
Step 1. Find the mean of all values (X = ?).
Step 2. Find the distance of all values from the mean (d1, d2, d3, d4, d5).
Step 3. Find the mean of distances (D).
x1 = $12
x2 = $9
x3 = $6
X4 = $8
x5 = $10
Step 1.
X = (x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5)/5
= (12 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 10)/5
= 45/5
= $9
Step 2.
d1 = 12 - 9 = 3
d2 = 9 - 9 = 0
d3 = 9 - 6 = 3
d4 = 9 - 8 = 1
d5 = 10 - 9 = 1
Step 3.
D = (d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 + d5)/5
= (3 + 0 + 3 + 1 + 1)/5
= 8/5
= $1.6
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>
