The depth of two lakes is measured at multiple spots. For the first lake, the mean depth is about 45 feet with a mean absolute deviation of 8 feet. For the second lake, the mean depth is about 60 feet with a mean absolute deviation of 27 feet.


Noah says the second lake is generally deeper than the first lake. Do you agree with Noah?



No, I do not agree with Noah because the second lake has greater variability with a higher MAD so even though the mean depth is deeper the data is very spread out away from that mean.


No, I do not agree with Noah. The MAD tells us how deep it is and the 1st MAD is more.


Yes, I agree with Noah. The MAD tells us how deep it is and the second MAD is more.


Yes, I agree with Noah because the first lake has a smaller mean and MAD than the second.
