Please help me with the below. I previously asked the question on here but want to check I have done part a right. Part b, I am really struggling with. I can not figure out how MAD is calculated. I've seen answers for part b online, but no thorough explanation. Every time I calculate it, I do not get the same answer as the ones given on CourseHero. Really appreciate any help/explanation.
