Question

PLZ HURRY!!!

1. Curtis was curious about the average height of the different types of plants in his flower and vegetable gardens, so he measured each of his plants. This data set shows the heights of the flowers in his garden, in inches. This data set shows the heights of the vegetable plants in his garden, in inches:
(a) What is the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the flower height data? Show your work.
(b) What is the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the vegetable height data? Show your work.
(c) Use the data to compare the two gardens. What does the MAD indicate about the variability between flower and vegetable plant heights

Answer 1

Explanation:

For part a, take all the data ( in your case line up the flower's height in inches) and find the mean. To do this you add all of the numbers together and divide by the number of numbers (EXA: 13,4,12,7---> 13+4+12+7= 36---> 36/4=9; 9 is the mean)

For part b, do the same thing, except use the values for the vegitable heights.

For part c, it's asking you to compare the values, (find their differences) and figure out the variability, which means to find the pattern in growth between both the flowers and vegitables, and explian them.

I hope this helps! :)
