The double line plot shows the number of students who attended the home games of the baseball team for two recent seasons.  Which of the following statements is NOT true.

• The median attendance for 2009 was less than the median attendance than 2010.
• The attendance for 2010 was more consistent, so the MAD would be smaller than the MAD for 2009.
• The attendance for 2009 was more consistent, so the MAD would be smaller than the MAD for 2010.
• The attendance for 2010 ranged from 20-27.

A fitness instructor tested the arm strength of members of a fitness class to compare their scores to the national average. The test rated members on a scale from 1, the weakest, to 10, the strongest. The scores of 9 members are shown in the data set below.

4, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9

The Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) value of the data set is about 1.1. Tyler says that the lower the MAD value, the greater the variability. Is Tyler correct?

• Yes

• No
