Anna is researching home prices in two large neighborhoods. She randomly selects 6 homes from each neighborhood to compare their most recent sale prices, as shown.
Mocking Bird Court: $185,000, $193,000, $176,000, $205,000, $198,000, $182,000
Red Robin Manor: $215,000, $214,000, $212,000, $130,000, $207,000, $198,000
Based on the sale prices of these homes, which would be an accurate conclusion?

• Comparing the means is not helpful because the mean absolute deviation of prices in Red Robin Manor is much greater than the mean absolute deviation of prices in Mockingbird Court.
• The mean home price is lower in Red Robin Manor than in Mockingbird Court because Red Robin Manor has one home price that is significantly lower than the others.
• There is no significant difference in the selling prices in either neighborhood because the mean selling prices are nearly the same.
• All of the homes in Mocking Bird Court have lower selling prices than the homes in Red Robin Manor.
