Answer 12

The MAD Is 3.272727273 @jim_thompson5910

Answer 13

good

Answer 14

if the ratio is larger than 2.5, which it is, this means that the distributions are different

so that rules out choice C. If they were similar distributions, then choice C would be the answer

Answer 15

B?

Answer 16

which one? A or B?

Answer 18
