Question 1189268: Dr. de Campo was listing systolic blood pressure data for a group of her patients. The numbers were 126,101,99,111,101,105,142,126, and 124. Justin's blood pressure was 124 on the list. What was his deviation score?
Answer (to the nearest hundredths) Answer by CPhill(1959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's how to calculate Justin's deviation score:
1. **Calculate the mean of the blood pressure data:**
(126 + 101 + 99 + 111 + 101 + 105 + 142 + 126 + 124) / 9 = 117.22
2. **Subtract the mean from Justin's blood pressure:**
124 - 117.22 = 6.78
**Answer:** Justin's deviation score is 6.78.
