Answer:
As per dot plots we see the distribution of prices is close but majority of prices are concentrated in different zones. So MAD would be more similar by the look.
<u>Let's verify</u>
<h3>Neighborhood 1</h3>
<u>Data</u>
- 55, 55, 60, 60, 70, 80, 80, 80, 90, 120
<u>Mean</u>
- (55*2+ 60*2+ 70+ 80*3 + 90+ 120)/10 = 75
<u>MAD</u>
- (20*2+15*2+5+5*3+15+45)/10 = 15
<h3>Neighborhood 2</h3>
<u>Data</u>
- 100, 110, 110, 110, 120, 120, 120, 140, 150, 160
<u>Mean</u>
- (100 + 110*3+ 120*3+ 140 + 150+ 160)/10 = 124
<u>MAD</u>
- (24+14*3+4*3+16*3+16+26+36)/10 = 20.4
As we see the means are too different (75 vs 124) than MADs (15 vs 20.4).
No it is not proportional. Since she brought the last apple for 1/2 the price, the equation won’t be linear (straight line) anymore so it won’t be proportional. Proportional means the same unit rate.
ahaha good one
