Enzo’s mean score is 44. Zahra’s mean score is 38. The difference between the mean scores is about how many times the mean absolute deviation of the data sets, to the nearest whole number?

Answer 1

Given the table that contains Enzo's and Zahra's scores for five games, we solve the required problem as follows:


The difference between the mean scores is 44 - 38 = 6
The difference between the mean scores is about the same size as the mean absolute deviation of the data sets
