Answer:

"They are similar"

Explanation:

The means-to-MAD ratio tells how similar two distributions are to each other.

If the ratio is

< 1, this means they are similar

between 1 and 2.5, they are somewhat similar

> 2.5, this means they are different

We see the ratio given is 0.8, which is < 1, so the distributions are similar.

first answer choice is right.
