OA. The difference of the means is 1. This value is less than half of the mean absolute deviation of either data set.
OB .
The difference of the means is 1. This value is more than half of the mean absolute deviation of either data set.
OC The difference of the means is 1. This value is 1 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.
OD. The difference of the means is 1. This value is 2 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Find the Mean and Mean Absolute Value of the first data set:

Write out the data values:

1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 9, 9, 9, 11

Mean = sum of all data values ÷ number of data values in the data set

Mean = 72 ÷ 12 = 6

M.A.D = sum of |data value - mean| ÷ the number of data values

|1 - 6| = 5

|2 - 6| = 4

|4 - 6| = 2

|4 - 6| = 2

|5 - 6| = 1

|5 - 6| = 1

|6 - 6| = 0

|7 - 6| = 1

|9 - 6| = 3

|9 - 6| = 3

|9 - 6| = 3

|11 - 6| = 5

Sum of |data value - mean| = 30

M.A.D = 30 ÷ 12 ≈ 2.5.

✔️Find the mean and M.A.D of the second data set following the same steps and formula:

Write out the data:

1, 3, 4, 6, 6, 6, 7, 9, 9, 10, 10, 13

Mean = 84 ÷ 12 = 7

Sum of |data value - mean| = 32

M.A.D = 32 ÷ 12 = 2.7

✔️Comparing both data sets,

The difference of the means = 7 - 6 = 1

Thus, the value of this difference, 1, is less than half of the M.A.D of both sets, 2.5 and 2.7.
