1-225
2-248
1-212
2-256


A.
The mean absolute deviation of the data for theater 1 is greater than the mean absolute deviation of the data for theater 2. That means the number of people who watched the movie each day during opening week in theater 1 was more consistent than in theater 2.
B.
The mean absolute deviation of the data for theater 2 is greater than the mean absolute deviation of the data for theater 1. That means the number of people who watched the movie each day during opening week in theater 2 was more consistent than in theater 1.
C.
The mean absolute deviation of the data for theater 2 is less than the mean absolute deviation of the data for theater 1. That means the number of people who watched the movie each day during opening week in theater 2 was more consistent than in theater 1.
D.
The mean absolute deviation of the data for theater 1 is equal to the mean absolute deviation of the data for theater 2. That means the number of people who watched the movie each day in theater 1 and theater 2 were approximately the same during the week.
