(the average) - the sum of all data values divided by the number of the data values. deviation. - the difference between a data value in a set and the mean of the set. - the mean (average) of all deviations in a set equals zero. absolute value. - the distance (a positive quantity) of any value on a number line from zero. - the sum of the absolute values of deviations on each side of the mean are equal.
The differences between the electrical conductivity ratios of the solutions made from the various potassium chloride reagents were equivalent to about 0.0012 in salinity. The solution may not actually become a standard for salinity measurements even if it is prepared exactly according to the present definition.he differences between the electrical conductivity ratios of the solutions made from the various potassium chloride reagents were equivalent to about 0.0012 in salinity.

(1) Potassium chloride conducts electricity in molten state or aqueous solution while silicon dioxide does not conduct electricity. (1) This is because ions in potassium chloride become mobile in molten state or aqueous solution while there are no mobile electrons or ions in silicon dioxide.
