Answer 1

x = 0.3

y = 5.3

z = 17.3

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 0.3, y = 5.3, z = 17.3

Explanation:

Since given question is incomplete, so here is the complete table for the distance from the mean.

Temp (°F) 29 38 45 31 50 58 62

Distance from the mean 15.7 6.7 x 13.7 y 13.3 z

It's given that the mean of the data is 44.7

Since distance from the mean of a data is the absolute value of the difference of data and mean,

Therefore, distance from the mean of the data will be,

x = |44.7 - 45| = 0.3 (absolute value of the difference)

y = |44.7 - 50| = 5.3

z = |44.7 - 62| = 17.3
