Complete the table to find the deviation of each data point. The mean is 9.25. The data points are 7, 9, 9.5 and, 12. What are the deviations?

To find the deviations of each data point from the mean, you'll subtract the mean from each data point. The mean is 9.25.

Here are the calculations:

  1. For the data point 7: \[ \text{Deviation} = 7 - 9.25 = -2.25 \]

  2. For the data point 9: \[ \text{Deviation} = 9 - 9.25 = -0.25 \]

  3. For the data point 9.5: \[ \text{Deviation} = 9.5 - 9.25 = 0.25 \]

  4. For the data point 12: \[ \text{Deviation} = 12 - 9.25 = 2.75 \]

Now, let's summarize the deviations in a table:

| Data Point | Deviation | |------------|-----------| | 7 | -2.25 | | 9 | -0.25 | | 9.5 | 0.25 | | 12 | 2.75 |

These are the deviations of each data point from the mean.

The deviations for points 7 and 9 are wrong
