4 out of 24 reduced to 1 out of 6 since there are 24 total buttons and 4 are blue. About 16.67%

To find a probability of an event occurring, we need to find how many outcomes are successful. Then divide that number over the total number of outcomes.

In this case, we have the cat knocking 1 button onto floor. We want that button to be blue. Because we have 4 blue buttons, we have 4 different scenarios/outcomes that are successful.

Total number of outcomes is the cat knocking any button onto the floor. Which is [/tex] 4+5+7+8=24[/tex].

When we divide the two: \frac{4}{24} = \frac{1}{6} = 0.17 is the probability of cat knocking a blue button onto the floor.

Given an actual demand of 64, a previous forecast of 59, and an of .3, what would the forecast for the next period be using simp
BartSMP [9]

Answer: 60.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The forecast for the next period using the simple exponential smoothing method is given by:

D\times \alpha+F(1-\alpha) , where D= actual demand for the recent period, \alpha= smoothing factor, F= forecast for the recent period .

Given: D= 64, \alpha=0.34 , F= 59

The forecast for the next period  = 64\times0.3+59(1-0.3)

\\\\= 64\times0.3+59\times0.7\\\\=19.2+41.3\\\\=60.5

Hence, the forecast for the next period = 60.5
