Question

PLEASE RESPOND FAST FOR BRAINLIEST.

Data Set 1 has a mean of 173.5 and a MAD of 3.9.

Data Set 2 has a mean of 161.2 and a MAD of 4.1.

What can be concluded about the two distributions?

Select each correct answer.

The means-to-MAD ratio is 3.

The distributions are different.

The means-to-MAD ratio is 4.

The distributions are somewhat similar.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D, The distributions are somewhat similar

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine the means-to-MAD ratio

Data Set 1 → Mean = 173.5, MAD = 3.9

Data Set 2 → Mean = 161.2, MAD = 4.1

$Ratio = \frac{Mean\ of\ 2 - Mean\ of\ 1}{MAD\ of\ 2 - MAD\ of\ 1}$

$Ratio = \frac{161.2 - 173.5}{4.1 - 3.9}$

$Ratio = \frac{-12.3|}{0.2}$

$Ratio = -61.5$

Step 2:  Determine if the distributions are similar or not

Since the MAD of set 2 is somewhat similar to MAD of set 1, the distributions are somewhat similar.

Answer:  Option D, The distributions are somewhat similar
