Question 1

Grade 12 Mathematics entrance exam, 2018 E.C. (2026)

Consider the data: 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21. Which one of the following is the mean deviation from the mean?

  1. A.4
  2. B.3.5
  3. C.4.5
  4. D.3
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D 3

Why

The mean of the data is (11+13+15+17+19+21)/6 = 16. The absolute deviations from the mean are 5, 3, 1, 1, 3, and 5, which sum to 18; dividing this sum by 6 yields a mean deviation of 3.
