Question

Interpret the variability of the following two datasets, representing the number of leaves on two different species of growing pothos plants:

Species 1: {14,18,19,22,17}

Species 2: {22,19,18,24,23}

Which dataset is more variable?

(1 point)
Responses

Species 2, because it has a higher mean absolute deviation
Species 2, because it has a higher mean absolute deviation

Species 2, because it has a lower mean absolute deviation
Species 2, because it has a lower mean absolute deviation

Species 1, because it has a higher mean absolute deviation
Species 1, because it has a higher mean absolute deviation

Species 1, because it has a lower mean absolute deviation
