Deviation from the mean

• One way to determine if data is good is by looking at the deviation from the mean.

• to find deviation from the mean we find the difference between each entry and the mean.

• Good data does not have much deviation from the mean.

Finding deviation from the mean 2,5,3,6 (find the mean)

• the mean of the data is 4

• Find the deviation for each output, this is done by using a table (you will see what it looks like on the next slide)
