Answer as a fraction = 2/3

Answer in decimal form = 0.667 (approximate)

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need is to find the mean. Add up the values to get 3+3+4+5+5+4 = 24. Then divide by n = 6 since there are 6 values.

24/n = 24/6 = 4

The mean is 4

Now subtract the mean from each value

  • 3-4 = -1
  • 3-4 = -1
  • 4-4 = 0
  • 5-4 = 1
  • 5-4 = 1
  • 4-4 = 0

Apply absolute value to each result so that the difference is not negative.

We get this new list: {1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0}

Now compute the mean of that new list to get the final answer

1+1+0+1+1+0 = 4

4/n = 4/6 = 2/3 = 0.667 approximately
