Define the term 'deviation' in statistics.
Think about how far a number is from the average.
What does 'c' represent in the STEP Deviation Method?
What do we divide our deviations by?
What does the common factor 'c' do in the STEP Deviation Method?
Think about the goal of simplification.
True or False: The STEP Deviation Method can only be applied to small datasets.
Consider where this method is most useful.
Given the data points: [12, 15, 20, 35, 40], calculate the mean using the STEP Deviation Method with c = 5.
Break the problem into steps; start with the mean!
Using a plot of land sizes: [1000, 1200, 1500, 2000], calculate the mean area using c = 100.
List your deviations clearly before calculating.
