Q:

The means and mean absolute deviations of the individual times of members of two relay swim teams are shown in the table below. Means and Mean Absolute Deviations of Individual Times of Members of mc011-1.jpg Relay Swim Teams Team A Team B Mean 127.9 s 127.4 s Mean Absolute Deviation 0.26 s 0.23 s The difference of the means is found and then compared to each of the mean absolute deviations. Which is true? The difference between the mean times is about equal to the mean absolute deviation of the data sets. The difference between the mean times is about 2 times the mean absolute deviation of the data sets. The difference between the mean times is about 5 times the mean absolute deviation of the data sets. The difference between the mean times is about 16 times the mean absolute deviation of the data sets.
