Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Team Mean Heights and the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of each are:

Bulldogs 165 cm 6.9

Panthers 177 cm 7.1

Warriors 176 cm 4.8

Then we can interpret the MAD as the variability of each height to the mean.

In other words, in the Bulldogs Team, the number of higher and lower players than the mean (165 cm tall) is bigger than between the Warriors players and its mean.

So This is why The Bulldog's heights players vary more (6.9) than Warriors' (4.8).

A is correct.

Looking again at the Mean Heights, we can see that the Panthers Mean is 177 and Warriors Mean is 176 cm, which is almost the same.

D is correct
