Answer 3

Try these steps:
1. Find the mean of all values
2. Find the distance of each value from that mean (subtract the mean from each value, ignore minus signs). Create a table with two headings - Value and distance from mean value you calculated from step 1)
3. Then find the mean of those distances

Answer 4

And remember that distances have no sign (i.e.never negative)
