An ecological reserve in Brazil has pygmy sloths and maned sloths. A veterinarian working there
randomly selected eight adults of each type of sloth, weighed them, and recorded their weights in pounds.
pygmy sloth: {14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 16, 17, 18}
maned sloths: {10, 11, 11, 12, 12, 12, 14, 14}
(a) Calculate the mean for each type of sloth. Show all work.
(b) Calculate the MAD for each type of sloth. Show all work.
(c) Calculate the means-to-MAD ratio for the two types of sloths. Show all work.
(d) What inference can be made about the weight of both types of sloths? Explain.
