The mean absolute deviation (MAD) for the first set of data is 1.2 and the MAD for the second set of data is 0.4. Approximately how many times the variability in the heights of the seventh graders is the variability in the heights of the sixth graders? (Round all values to the tenths place.) 3.2 3.0 1.5 0.8

well, since MAD is a measure of variability, I presume it would be MAD of 6th graders/MAD of 7th graders = 1.2/0.4 = ?

3

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! I agree with @Vocaloid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 3.0

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK thanks!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

good job! @Vocaloid
