Question

Here are the number of baskets that three new players made.



Order the data sets from smallest to largest MAD.

A reorderable list of 3 items is on the screen. Arrange items so that Smallest MAD is at the top and Largest MAD is at the bottom. Tab to the listbox, and press the Up and Down Arrow keys to move, and the Spacebar to select or unselect an item.
Smallest MAD
A. 0,1,3,10
B. 4,4,5,5,5,6,6
C. 3,4,6,6,7,10
LARGEST MAD

Answer 1

B, C, A

Work:
- A: mean = 3.5; MAD = (3.5+2.5+0.5+6.5)/4 = 13/4 = 3.25
- B: mean = 5; MAD = (1+1+0+0+0+1+1)/7 = 4/7 ≈ 0.571
- C: mean = 6; MAD = (3+2+0+0+1+4)/6 = 10/6 ≈ 1.667

So smallest → largest MAD: B, C, A.
