Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To compute a deviation score for a data point, we first calculate the mean of the set of data.

Mean = (44+52+51+37+49+55+48+39)/8 = 45.25

Then we subtract the mean from the data point we are interested in:

51 - 45.25 = 5.75

This is the deviation score for the data point 51.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 4.13 (rounded to two decimal places).
