10 10 8 15 0
2 15 14 7 11
5 14 20 3 11
13 7 0 5 21
Sample #2
18 14 0 7 5
7 10 7 6 9
12 3 14 4 11
16 0 10 9 5
0 16 11 2 4
Part 1: Find the mean of Sample #1.
Part 2: Find the mean absolute deviation of Sample #1.

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
