The absolute deviations from the mean are as follows:
68: |68-66.8| = 1.2
51: |51-66.8| = 15.8
75: |75-66.8| = 8.2
78: |78-66.8| = 11.2
94: |94-66.8| = 27.2
35: |35-66.8| = 31.8

Adding these absolute deviations together:
1.2 + 15.8 + 8.2 + 11.2 + 27.2 + 31.8 = 95.4

The sum of the absolute deviations in the dataset is 95.4.
u sure
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let me recalculate the sum of the absolute deviations from the mean for the dataset provided.

The absolute deviations from the mean are as follows:
68: |68-66.8| = 1.2
51: |51-66.8| = 15.8
75: |75-66.8| = 8.2
78: |78-66.8| = 11.2
94: |94-66.8| = 27.2
35: |35-66.8| = 31.8

Adding these absolute deviations together:
1.2 + 15.8 + 8.2 + 11.2 + 27.2 + 31.8 = 95.4

Therefore, the sum of the absolute deviations in the dataset is indeed 95.4. Thank you for pointing that out.
no thats the same answer but ur correct. thats the right answer tho right?
Yes, that is the correct answer. The sum of the absolute deviations in the dataset 68, 51, 75, 78, 94, 35 with a mean of 66.8 is indeed 95.4. Thank you for confirming.
