The two dot plots below show the heights of some sixth graders and some seventh graders: The mean absolute deviation (MAD) for the first set of data is 1.2 and the MAD for the second set of data is 1.7. Approximately how many times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders

The number of times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders is approximately 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the sixth graders = 1.2 and that of the seventh graders = 1.7

The variability in the heights of the sixth graders = 1.2

The variability in the heights of the seventh graders = 1.7

To calculate how many times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders, we will divide the variability of the seventh graders by the variability of the sixth graders

That is, 1.7/ 1.2 = 1.4167 ≅ 1.4

Hence, the number of times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders is approximately 1.4

she will sew have sewn five dresses   and be 1/3 done with the sixth one in an hour.

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of an hour=45 mins

lucy makes 1 dress per 11.25 minutes

45 mins+11.25 mins=56.25 mins

60 mins- 56.25 mins=3.75 mins

3.75 mins is 1/3 of of 11.25 mins

therefore she the other 1/3 would be part of the hour and she will have sewn 5 dresses and begun the sixth.
