the ages of two groups of dance students are shown in the following dot plots:

a dot plot shows age in years on the horizontal axis. for group x, there are 3 dots on 4, 1 dot on 5, 5 dots on 8, 2 dots on 10, 3 dots on 12, and 2 dots on 16. for group y, there are 2 dots on 5, 3 dots on 7, 1 dot on 9, 3 dots on 11, 1 dot on 13, 2 dots on 14, 1 dot on 15, 1 dot on 18, 3 dots on 20, 1 dot on 22, and 2 dots on 24.

the mean absolute deviation (mad) for group x is 3.07 and the mad for group y is 5.25. which of the following observations can be made using these data?

group x has less variability in the data.
group x has greater variability in the data.
group y has a lower range.
group y has a lower mean.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
