The sum of the values is 10.3 and not 10.1 . So, the true value would be 2.06 and not 2.05. Please ignore few mistakes in calculation ahead.
Please note that as true value is 2.06, correct individual error values are as follows:
ΔE1 = 2.06 - 2.1 = -0.04 -0.05
ΔE2 = 2.06 - 1.8 = 0.26 0.25
ΔE3 = 2.06 - 1.7 = 0.36 0.35
ΔE4 = 2.06 - 2.3 = -0.24 -0.25
ΔE5 = 2.06 - 2.4 = -0.34 -0.35
Total sum with absolute values = 1.24 and not 1.25 Therefore, mean error = 1.24/5 = 0.248 and not 0.25
