Answer:
B) 13/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to understand what a terminating decimal is: It is a decimal that has a finite number of decimal values that are not zero, meaning that its decimal values end at some point
Let's go through our possible answers with trial and error:
A) 8/9
8/9 = 0.888888888888...9 (Incorrect)
B) 13/8
13/8 = 1.625 (Correct)
C) 4/3
4/3 = 1.3333333333...4 (Incorrect)
D) 6/11
6/11 = 0.545454545454...54 (Incorrect
13/8 is our answer because in decimal form it is a terminating decimal.

For a smoothing constant of 0.2
Time period – 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Actual value – 46 55 39 42 63 54 55 61 52
Forecast – 58 55.6 55.48 52.18 50.15 52.72 52.97 53.38 54.90
Forecast error - -12 -.6 -16.48 – 10.12 12.85 1.28 2.03 7.62 -2.9
The mean square error is 84.12
The mean forecast for period 11 is 54.38
For a smoothing constant of 0.8
Time period – 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Actual value – 46 55 39 42 63 54 55 61 52
Forecast – 58 48.40 53.68 41.94 41.99 58.80 54.96 54.99 59.80
Forecast error - -12 6.60 -14.68 0.06 21.01 -4.80 0.04 6.01 -7.80The mean square error is 107.17
The mean forecast for period 11 is 53.56
Based on the MSE, smoothing constant of .2 offers a better model since the mean forecast is much better compared to the 53.56 of the smoothing constant of 0.8.
