Answer 20

it is okay, so in other, words, r u joking or do u really don't know?!!

Answer 21

I am not 100% sure, but I know how to do the problem, i think lol
so mean "to" mad means divide your mean (15.3) by your MAD (0.9) etc etc
so Dr. Hartman seen 15.3/0.9 = 17 patients
Dr. Kim seen 18.9 / 1.1= 17.18 repeated patients. so they both aw about 17 patients, or about the same amount each so what should the answer be? :)
