Answer: 1
Explanation:
The mean is the average of the sum of all integers in a data set.
Caroline has 2 pieces of cheese, Samuel has 4 pieces of cheese, Abby has 4 pieces of cheese, and Jason has 2 pieces of cheese
2 + 4 + 4 + 2 = 12
12 divides by 4, since there are 4 people, to equal the mean
12 / 4 = 3
Now since we have the mean, find the distance from the mean to each number
3 - 2 = 1
4 - 3 = 1
4 - 3 = 1
3 - 2 = 1
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4
4 / 4 = 1
