The mean of data set A is 43.5 and the MAD is 3.7. The mean of data set B is 12.8 and the MAD is 4.1. What differences would you expect to see when comparing the dot plots of the two data sets?

MAD - mean absolute deviation is indication of the distance of data points from the mean.

Data set B shows the greater variability since has greater MAD.

It means the B data set is more spread compared to A data set.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
