To calculate the average deviation from the mean of the number of goals scored by Soccer Team B, I will provide you with the steps to follow. However, since you mentioned that the data (the specific goals per game values) is in an image and you are unable to share it, I will explain how to do the calculation once you have access to that data.

  1. Calculate the Mean:

    • Add all the goals scored per game together and divide by the number of games.

  2. Calculate the Deviations:

    • For each data point (goals scored in each game), subtract the mean from the goals scored to find the deviation. This can result in negative values.

  3. Absolute Deviations:

    • Take the absolute value of each deviation to ignore the negative signs.

  4. Average Deviation:

    • To find the average deviation, add up all the absolute deviations and divide by the number of data points.

If you can provide the specific goals scored per game data points from the image, I can help you determine the mean and the average deviation from the mean accurately. If you simply want to assess one of the provided responses for correctness, please also share the data points you are working with.
