Answer 1

The average distance of each observation from the mean is 0.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$7, $20, $9, $35, $12, $15, $7, $10, $20, $25

Formula:

`Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}`

`Mean =\displaystyle(160)/(10) =16`

Difference from the mean value of each term:

-9, 4, -7, 19, -4, -1, -9, -6, 4, 9

Average distances =

`\text{Average distance} =\displaystyle(0)/(10) =0`

Thus, the average distance of each observation from the mean is 0.
