Two data sets have the same mean,
8. However, the MAD of Data Set A is 2 and the
MAD of Data Set B is 4. What does this indicate
about the variability of the data sets?
For Data Set B, we see that the data is more varied. The absolute deviations are 4, 3, 2, 5. The average of these absolute deviations is 3.5. MAD_B = (4+3+2+5)/4 =3.5 M ADB
Hence, The average of these absolute deviations is 3.5.
