no worries, thanks

Jim probably knows how to do this.  Good luck though.

yeah I've done this before but I'm blanking on how I did it. I'm looking for my previous post.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

ok found it http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/552728cbe4b0f4ae466164c2 `here is how you calculate the means-to-MAD ratio` `Step 1) subtract the means (larger - smaller)` `Step 2) Divide the result in step 1 by the larger MAD value`

4.9 - 4.3 = 0.6
0.6 / 1.2 = 0.5
