D. Dr. Cantwell’s patients’ ages and Dr. Singh’s patients’ ages vary about the same amount.

Answer 1

Hello,

Looking at the data, you should go with the second and fourth results.

On the second one, Dr. Appiah's M.A.D. is only 9.7 which is less than Dr. Singh's M.A.D. of 14.1

On the fourth one, Dr. Cantwell and Dr. Singh both have a M.A.D. that is only 0.1 from 14, so their ages vary by about the same amount.

Best of luck,
MrEQ
