Compute |x - 47.9| for each value and sum:
|63−47.9|=15.1, |25−47.9|=22.9, |74−47.9|=26.1, |52−47.9|=4.1, |63−47.9|=15.1, |12−47.9|=35.9, |46−47.9|=1.9.
Sum = 15.1+22.9+26.1+4.1+15.1+35.9+1.9 = 121.1.
|63−47.9|=15.1, |25−47.9|=22.9, |74−47.9|=26.1, |52−47.9|=4.1, |63−47.9|=15.1, |12−47.9|=35.9, |46−47.9|=1.9.
Sum = 15.1+22.9+26.1+4.1+15.1+35.9+1.9 = 121.1.
