For people playing soccer:

Sum of data values = 12 + 21 + 40 + 27 + 20 = 120
Number of data values = 15

Mean=Sum of data valuesNumber of data values=12015 = 8

Sum of absolute deviation = 14

MAD(soccer)=Sum of absolute deviationNumber of data values

=1415=0.93

For people playing basketaball:

Sum of data values =4 + 10 + 18 + 21 + 24 + 18 + 10 = 105
Number of data values = 15

Mean=Sum of data valuesNumber of data values=10515 = 7

Sum of absolute deviation = 20

MAD(Basketball)=Sum of absolute deviationNumber of data values

=2015=1.33

Hence, MAD (soccer) is less than MAD (basketball).
