The y-deviations are calculated by subtracting the sample mean of the y-values, $\bar{y}=4$, from each individual y observation in the table. This produces a column of signed deviations measuring how far each point lies above or below the horizontal mean line.

Conditions: The y-values in the table are 2, 4, 5, 4, and 5.; The sample mean $\bar{y}$ has been computed as 4.
