Hey, There i hope you are haveing a great day :) So I look at the example so it should be the same I think like how you work out the mean by adding all the numbers and then diving them so, (8 + 4 + 8 + 8 + 10 + 2 + 4 + 4) = 48 and now you know you have got 8 numbers there a divide them so 48/8 = 6. and then I think you take away it so, 8 - 6 = 2 4 - 6 =-2 8 - 6 = 2 8 - 6 = 2 10 - 6 = 4 2 - 6 = -4 4 - 6 = -2 4 - 6 = -2 and then 2 + -2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + -4 + -2 + -2 divide 8 = 0 and you can't divide anything by 0 so that would be the answer.
