Answer 1

Answer:

• See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Flowers

Heights of the flowers in his garden, in  inches:

• {8, 6, 9, 6, 14, 9, 5, 7}
• Number of flowers = 8

Mean

• (8+6+9+6+14+9+5+7)/8 = 8

Absolute deviation

• 8 >> 0, 6 >> 2, 9 >> 1, 6 >> 2, 14 >> 6, 9 >> 1, 5 >> 3, 7 >>1

MAD

• (0+2+1+2+6+1+3+1)/8 = 2

Vegetables

Heights of the vegetable plants in his garden, in  inches:

• {36, 12, 36, 48, 24, 12, 6, 10)

• Number of vegetables = 8

Mean

• (36+12+36+48+24+12+6+10)/8 = 23 in

Absolute deviation

• 36 >> 13, 12 >> 11, 36 >> 13, 48 >> 25, 24 >> 1, 12 >> 11, 6 >> 17, 10 >> 13

MAD

• (13+11+13+25+1+11+17+13)/8 = 13 in

===============================================

• a) MAD of flower height = 2 in
• b) MAD of vegetable height = 13 in
• c) MAD for vegetables is much greater compared to MAD for flowers. This is the indication of greater variability of vegetable heights
