The heights of the starting players on each of two basketball teams are shown in the table below. Heights of Starters on Team A and Team B Team A 70 in. 72 in. 75 in. 68 in. 70 in. Team B 71 in. 73 in. 71 in. 72 in. 73 in. Jacob found that the mean height of Team A is 71 and the mean height of Team B is 72. He believes that because Team B has a greater mean, it also has a greater mean absolute deviation. Which explains Jacob’s error?
