The OED is not just a very large dictionary: it is also a historical dictionary, the most complete record of the English language ever assembled. It traces a word from its beginnings (which may be in Old or Middle English) to the present, showing the varied and changing ways in which it has been used and illustrating the changes with quotations which add to the historical and linguistic record. This can mean that the first sense shown is long obsolete, and that the modern use falls much later in the entry.
The rest of the question:

Answer: 5.6
Explanation:
This question is referring to Mathematics and not English so I will help you as much as I can. I have found the rest of it online and the correct answer too.
- The mean absolute deviation that we have here is considering the average distance from some data point to the mean point of it and by that it is measuring variability.
- Since it is measuring variability, referring to this question, we are finding out that Evelyn is scoring slightly more than Robin's do and we can see that in the question since his score is 5.2 and her score is 5.6.
