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.

I think that your distributions are different each other, since the discrepancy, namely the difference 132-120=12 is greater than the MAD of both distributions

so which one do u think it is??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No actually it would be d because like i said the distributions are different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks i have one more can you help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hannah_Waller it says to chose exacaly 2 answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok sorry guess i didnt read it closel so then it would also be mean to MAD ratio is 120/4 = 30 for first distribution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would also be A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks
