Question

Alexander found the means-to-MAD ratio of two data sets to be 0.8.

What can he conclude about the distributions?


They are similar.

They are different.

They are identical.

They are somewhat similar.

Answer 1

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Answer 2

"They are similar"

Explanation:

The means-to-MAD ratio tells how similar two distributions are to each other.

If the ratio is

< 1, this means they are similar

between 1 and 2.5, they are somewhat similar

> 2.5, this means they are different

We see the ratio given is 0.8, which is < 1, so the distributions are similar.

first answer choice is right.
