1. **State the problem:** We have two gardens, A and B, each with heights: 9, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 12, 13 feet. Both have a mean height of 11 feet. 2. **Find the distance between the means:** Since both means are 11 feet, $$\text{Distance between means} = 11 - 11 = 0$$ 3. **Find the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) for each garden:** MAD is the average of the absolute differences between each data point and the mean. For Garden A (and similarly for Garden B since data is identical): Calculate absolute deviations: $$|9 - 11| = 2, |10 - 11| = 1, |10 - 11| = 1, |11 - 11| = 0, |11 - 11| = 0, |12 - 11| = 1, |12 - 11| = 1, |13 - 11| = 2$$ Sum of absolute deviations: $$2 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 8$$ Number of data points: 8 Calculate MAD: $$\text{MAD} = \frac{8}{8} = 1$$ 4. **Express the distance between the means as a multiple of the MAD:** Since the distance between means is 0 and MAD is 1, $$\text{Distance between means} = 0 \times \text{MAD}$$ **Final answers:** - Distance between the means: 0 feet - MAD for Garden A: 1 foot - MAD for Garden B: 1 foot - Distance between the means = 0 times the MAD
