years are as follows:
Year Mileage
1 3000
2 4000
3 3400
4 3800
5 3700
a) Forecast the mileage for next year using a 2-year moving average.
b) Find the MAD based on the 2-year moving average forecast in part (a), (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)
c) Use a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of .4 and .6 to forecast next year's mileage. (The weight of .6 is for the most recent year.) What MAD results from using this approach to forecasting? (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)
d) Compute the forecast for year 6 using exponential smoothing, an initial forecast for year 1 of 3,000 miles, and a = .5.

Answer:

Explanation:

A) using 2-year moving average :

Year 6 : (3800 + 3700) = 7500 / 2 = 3750

2) Mean absolute deviation based on the forecast above :

(3000 + 4000) = 7000/2 = 3500

(4000 + 3400) = 7400/2 = 3700

(3400 + 3800) = 7200/2 = 3600

3000

4000

3400 __3500__100

3800__3700__100

3700__3600__100

Mean absolute deviation = (100 + 100 + 100) /3 = 300/3 = 100

C) weight of 0.4 and 0.6

(0.4*3000 + 0.6*4000) = 3600

(0.4*4000 + 0.6*3400) = 3640

(0.4*3400 + 0.6*3800) = 3640

3000

4000

3400 __3600__200

3800__3640__160

3700__3640__60

(200 + 160 + 60) = 420 / 3 = 140

Asking potential dating partners for a date is most likely to be reinforced on a ________ schedule. variable-interval variable-r
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Variable-ratio

Explanation:

A variable-ratio reinforcement schedule occurs when a behavior is reinforced based on a random number of displays. Thus, unlike fixed schedules, asking for dating partners do not always elicit a positive reward - which is why it is categorized as variable; the response can be positive or negative. It is also not an interval-based reinforcement schedule, since it is not based on time period. Variable-ratio schedules fit this behavior since asking someone out can get you a positive response once you tried hard enough or with enough people - but when it would happen, you cannot predict.

Pick an Agile Manifesto principle that you think is likely to have the biggest impact on the success or failure of a typical pro
satela [25.4K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Agile Manifesto principle that I am going to pick in the principle of "Embracing Change."

I think this is likely to have the biggest impact on the success or failure of a typical project in my organization because change is the constant in modern-day business. Probably, since the inception of the modern-day industry.

In order to be successful and maintain that success over the years -no matter the conditions- a company has to be ready not only to adapt to change but to change ahead of necessity. And this is one of the most difficult things to do in business because people love to be in a comfort zone for years. People in corporate America likes to know they are safe in their traditional places doing traditional things. For them, change is tough.

That is why I think "Embrace change" would be the principle that would help me the most.
