Finding the Mean
2, 2, 5

Add all the numbers
2 + 2 + 5 = 9

Divide by how many numbers (There are 3 numbers)
9/3 = 3

So here is the data:
Difference: 1, 1, 2
Mean: 3
Mean Difference = 4/3

Answer:
The correct answer would be C.4/3

Hope this helps!

First, let's find the average.
2+2+5 = 9
9/3 = 3

Now discover the distance from the mean. (Use the absolute values)

absolute(2-3) = absolute(-1) = 1
absolute(2-3) = absolute(-1) = 1
absolute(5-3) = absolute(2) = 2

Now add those up and divide by the mean

1+1+2= 4

4/3

So the answer is C.
