Answer:The mean deviation of the given data is;
Option B: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Σ(x - x¯)/n
Now, x¯ is the mean = (1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5)/5
x¯ = 3
Thus;
1 - 3 = -2
2 - 3 = -1
3 - 3 = 0
3 - 3 = 0
4 - 3 = 1
5 - 3 = 2
Mean deviation is usually a positive value. Thus;
Σ(x - x¯) = 2 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 2
Σ(x - x¯) = 6
Thus;
Σ(x - x¯)/n = 6/6
Σ(x - x¯)/n = 1
