The table shows the height of pea plants in centimeters after 6 weeks of growth. Each plant started at a height of 5 centimeters

. Two planting soils were tested. Which statement BEST compares the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the two sets of data? Planting soil 1 plant height: 15, 10, 19, 17, 16, 12, 20, 22, 18, 35 Planting soil 2 plant height: 16, 17, 10, 12, 18, 17, 14, 15, 17, 23 A) Planting soil 1 showed less variability, since Planting soil 1 MAD is approximately 2.0 times greater than planting soil 2 MAD. B) Planting soil 2 showed less variability, since Planting soil 2 MAD is approximately 2.0 times greater than planting soil 1 MAD. C) Planting soil 1 showed greater variability, since Planting soil 1 MAD is approximately 1.8 times greater than planting soil 2 MAD. D) Planting soil 2 showed greater variability, since Planting soil 2 MAD is approximately 1.8 times greater than planting soil 1 MAD.
