To find the deviation of a data point from the mean, you subtract the mean from the data point.
Given:
- Mean = 59
- Data point = 43
Deviation = Data point - Mean = 43 - 59 = -16
Therefore, the correct answer is −16.
If the mean of a dataset is 59, what is the deviation of the data point at 43?(1 point)
