Why is Deviation 2E in the exercise?

Why is Deviation 2E in the exercise?
Posted 2015, Aug 16 09:39
In the conversione using deviation exercise, the deviation table represents at 300º Deviation is 0.0 and at 330º deviation is 1.5E, The Compass bearing is 310º, so imho the Deviation should be 0.5E as in between 0.0 and 1.5, in the exercise though the deviation is marked as 2.0E. I don't understand why? Thanks,

I got it now, it's the deviation of the heading of the ship that matters for the compass, the ship is heading 90º, so deviation is 2.0E. . Thanks
