3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 14

Mean is given by: Mean={tex}\frac{Sum of observations}{total number ofobservations}{/tex}

{tex}Mean=\frac{3+4+6+7+8+14}{6}=\frac{42}{6}=7{/tex}

Thus, {tex}{\overline{x}}=7.{/tex}

Now,{tex} {\Delta}x_{1}={\overline{x}-x_{1}}=7-3=4{/tex}

{tex}|{\Delta}x_{2}|=|{\overline{x}-x_{2}}|=|7-4|=3{/tex}

{tex}|{\Delta}x_{3}|=|{\overline{x}-x_{3}}|=|7-6|=1{/tex}

{tex}|{\Delta}x_{4}|=|{\overline{x}-x_{4}}|=|7-7|=0{/tex}

{tex}|{\Delta}x_{5}|=|{\overline{x}-x_{5}}|=|7-8|=1{/tex}

{tex}{\Delta}x_{6}|=|{\overline{x}-x_{6}}|=|7-14|=7{/tex}

Sum of deviations of the variate values={tex}|{\Delta}x_{1}|+|{\Delta}x_{2}|+|{\Delta}x_{3}|+|{\Delta}x_{4}|+|{\Delta}x_{5}|+|{\Delta}x_{6}|{/tex}

=4+3+1+0+1+7=16

Therefore, the sum of deviations of the variate values is 16.
