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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
