Calculate the sum of squared deviations (SS) for the set of scores presented below: 

X
5.4
11.8
19
14.1
11.3
Expert Solution
Introduction

Values of X are given by

5.4,11.8,19,14.1,11.3

we have to calculate the sum of squared deviations (SS) 

The Sum of squared deviations is the sum of the square of deviation of X from its mean 

Here we have 

sample size=n=5

mean is given by

x=xxn  =5.4+11.8+19+14.1+11.35  =12.32
