A researcher divides some marbles into two data sets. In Data Set 1, the mean mass of the marbles is 18.7 g. In Data Set 2, the mean mass of the marbles is 11.1 g. The mean absolute deviation of both data sets is 4. What can you infer about the two sets of marbles?
Question content area bottom
Part 1
There is
▼
difference in the distributions, because the difference in mean mass between Data Set 1 and Data Set 2 is
▼
very small
large
compared to the mean absolute deviation. The MAD means that
▼
each set of marbles has a differently dash shaped distribution.
both sets of marbles have similar distributions.
