Answer

Then, average these absolute deviations: 10+5+0+5+105=6

Steps

Step 1 :First, calculate the mean (average) of the data set: 5+10+15+20+255=15

Step 2 :Next, find the absolute deviations of each data point from the mean: |515|=10,|1015|=5,|1515|=0,|2015|=5,|2515|=10

Step 3 :Then, average these absolute deviations: 10+5+0+5+105=6
