Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mean of the values 3, 4, 6, 8, 14 is 7. The sum of the absolute differences from the mean is |3-7| + |4-7| + |6-7| + |8-7| + |14-7| = 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 7 = 16. However, the question seems to be asking for the average of these differences, which is 16/5 = 3.2, but since the options are integers, the closest is 7, which might be a misinterpretation or typo in the question.
