D is my answer

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I'm sorry I don't know that answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay can you help me with another one?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

Data Set 1 has a mean of 120 and a MAD of 4. Data Set 2 has a mean of 132 and a MAD of 3. What can you conclude about the two distributions? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. A. The means-to-MAD ratio is 3. B. The means-to-MAD ratio is 4. C. The distributions are somewhat similar. D. The distributions are different.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here the ratio mean-to-MAD for first data set is 120/4=30 whereas the ratio mean-to-MAD for secon dataset is 132/3=44

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

second*

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so what is the ratio means-to-MAD ?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait I ask to another tutor

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@dan815 can you help here please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its D and A

OpenStudy (dan815):

D is definately right but i dont see how the means to MAD ratio is either 4 nor 3

OpenStudy (dan815):

they can be somewhat similar and different :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is D. (: Sorry this is kinda late... :/
