Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The value of SS (Sum of Squares) for a set of scores is calculated by taking each score, subtracting the mean from it, squaring that result, and then summing all those squared differences. For the scores 0, 1, 4, 5, the mean is (0+1+4+5)/4 = 10/4 = 2.5. Then, SS = (0-2.5)^2 + (1-2.5)^2 + (4-2.5)^2 + (5-2.5)^2 = 6.25 + 2.25 + 2.25 + 6.25 = 17.
