Answer 1

To find the deviation of a data point from the mean, you simply subtract the mean from the data point.

Given:

• Mean = 59
• Data point = 43

The deviation is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Deviation} = \text{Data point} - \text{Mean} = 43 - 59 = -16 \]

Thus, the deviation of the data point at 43 is −16.
