Question

Help how do I find the distance from the mead

Answer 1

Given that the mean is 26, as shown in the attached picture.

The distance of each of the numbers from their mean can be derived by subtracting each number from their mean and writing the absolute values;

`\begin{gathered} 20\rightarrow\left|26-20\right|=6 \\ 22\rightarrow\left|26-22\right|=4 \\ 24\rightarrow\left|26-24\right|=2 \\ 28\rightarrow\left|26-28\right|=2 \\ 29\rightarrow\left|26-29\right|=3 \\ 29\rightarrow\left|26-29\right|=3 \\ 30\rightarrow\left|26-30\right|=4 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the numbers and their corresponding distance from mean are;

`\begin{gathered} 20\rightarrow6 \\ 22\rightarrow4 \\ 24\rightarrow2 \\ 28\rightarrow2 \\ 29\rightarrow3 \\ 29\rightarrow3 \\ 30\rightarrow4 \end{gathered}`
