Warriors   176                     4.8

Answer 1

I took the test The answers are A and C  

Answer 2

The correct answer is choice C. The mean absolute deviation is a way to show the variability, or how spreadout the data is. When the mean absolute deviations are close to each other, that tells us that they're comparable in how they vary. 6.9 is close to 7.1.
