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.
Answer:
y=x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
3a^2 B^3 C^-2 OVER a^-3 b^6 c^3
Diametre = 2 x Radius
Radius = 7
Circumference = 2πr
= 2x22/7x7
= 44
