Minnie wants to know if the number of words on a page in her planetary science book is generally more than the number of words on a page in her math book. She takes a random sample of 25 pages in each book, then calculates the mean, median, and mean absolute deviation for the 25 samples of each book. Mean Median Mean Absolute Deviation Planetary science 48.9 41 9.2 Math 34.5 44 1.9 She claims that because the mean number of words on each page in the planetary science book is greater than the mean number of words on each page in the math book, the planetary science book has more words per page. Based on the data, is this a valid inference? No, because there is a lot of variability in the planetary science book data. Yes, because there is a lot of variability in the planetary science book data. Yes, because the mean is larger in the planetary science book. No, because the mean is larger in the planetary science book.

No, Minnie is incorrect, because there is a lot of variability in the Planetary science book data.

Is this a valid inference?

We know that, for 25 samples of each book, we have:

Book                        mean      median      MAD

Planetary science  48.9          41              9.2

Math                        34.5          44             1.9

The claim, is that "the Planetary science book as more words per page"

Notice that even if we subtract the mean standard deviation from the mean in the Planetary science case:

48.9 - 9.2 = 39.7

And we add these in the math case:

34.5 + 1.9 = 36.4

So, even considering the variability, the Planetary science book has more words per page.

The value in the Planetary science case is still larger, so, only with this, we conclude that her claim is not valid.
