What are the median and mode of a normal distribution if the mean is 22 and the standard deviation is 4?

The mean, median, and mode of a normal distribution are equal; in this case, 22. The standard deviation has no bearing on this question.

How do you compute mean deviation?

You don't need to. The mean deviation is, by definition, zero.


Is a standard deviation dependent on the mean?

To find the standard deviation, you must first compute the mean for the data set. So the answer is yes. Just have a look at the 5 steps needed to compute a standard deviation and you will see why the answer is yes. In reality, people most often use calculators or computers to do this. However, it is good to understand what they are doing. 1. Compute the deviation by subtracting the mean from each value. 2. Square each individual deviation. 3. Add up the squared deviations. 4. Divide by one less than the sample size. 5. Take the square root
