Answer to Question 1

Interval data.

Answer to Question 2

MAD considers the mean absolute error from the actual data; the direction of the error is not considered. In calculating MAD, the absolute values of the deviations are used. MSE considers the mean squared error from the actual data. In calculating MSE, the squared deviations from the actual data are used. The MSE approach penalizes large errors more since the errors are squared.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
