im pretty sure its C cuz i found out the mean and its 3; 2+2+5/3=3 and then I2-3I+I2+3I+I5-3I=4 and then divide by the mean which is 3 so its 4/3... am i correct?

yep now 9/how many numbers are in your data set?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 9/3=3=mean
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
yep
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I2-3I+I2+3I+I5-3I=4 and then divide by the mean which is 3 so its 4/3.
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
so your numbers in your data set are how many units away from your mean?
for instance if your mean is 5 and one of your numbers is 7 then it is 2 units away from 5
