Deviation of the observation from the mean = xi -
where i ∈ [1, n]
Calculation:
Mean =
| Value | Mean | Deviation of the value |
| 73 | 95 | 73 - 95 = -22 |
| 85 | 95 | 85 - 95 = -10 |
| 92 | 95 | 92 - 95 = -3 |
| 105 | 95 | 105 - 95 = 10 |
| 120 | 95 | 120 - 95 = 25 |
The sum of the deviation = -22 +(-10) + (-3) + 10 + 25 = 0
