Answer:
The MAD of city 2 is <u>less than</u> the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary <u>less than</u> the average monthly temperatures for City 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
For comparing the mean absolute deviations of both data sets we have to calculate the mean absolute deviation for both data sets first,
So for city 1:



Now to calculate the mean deviations mean will be subtracted from each data value. (Note: The minus sign is ignored as the deviation is the distance of value from the mean and it cannot be negative. For this purpose absolute is used)

The deviations will be added then.
So the mean absolute deviation for city 1 is 24 ..
For city 2:



Now to calculate the mean deviations mean will be subtracted from each data value. (Note: The minus sign is ignored)

The deviations will be added then.
So the MAD for city 2 is 11.33 ..
So,
The MAD of city 2 is <u>less than</u> the MAD for city 1, which means the average monthly temperature of city 2 vary <u>less than</u> the average monthly temperatures for City 1.
True, you would use the ratio of minutes to seconds.
I think there's an image needed to answer this question?
I tried answering without, but you do need the image.
If the length is 40 and the width is 25, the ration of length:width is 40:25.
This can be simplified to 8:5
So the answer would be any drawing with the following dimensions:
1. length 8 ft and width 5 ft
2. length 16 ft and width 10 ft
3. length 24 ft and width 15 ft
4. length 32 ft and width 20 ft
5. length 40 ft and width 25 ft
It's most likely not the last 3 because the sizes are very big, but yeah a scale drawing maintains the same ratio so I assume one of the options for your answers is gonna be one of the answers from 1 - 4 above (5 is the given dimensions so I highly doubt that's the answer)
