C. More than 35

D. Exactly 35

E. About 0.07

Answer 1

Answer:

correct option is here B. About 14.3

Explanation:

given data

running sum of forecast errors RSFE = 500

mean absolute deviation MAD = 35

solution

we get here tracking signal that is express here as

tracking signal = $\frac{RSFE}{MAD}$     .................................1

put here value and we will get tracking signal

tracking signal = $\frac{500}{35}$

tracking signal = 14.3

so correct option is here B. About 14.3
