Answer:
a small alpha value is used.
Explanation:
The exponential smoothing forecasting technique is used for forecasting a time series when there is no trend or seasonal pattern, but the mean of the time series is slowly changing over time.
The choice of the smoothing constant α (alpha) is important in determining the operating characteristics of exponential smoothing. The smaller the value of α (alpha), the slower the response. Therefore when a small alpha value is used the exponential smoothing forecasting technique slowly responds to changes in the mean level of demand.
When the values of α (alpha) are larger this makes the smoothed value to react quickly – not only to real changes but also random fluctuations.
Answer: Inelastic
Explanation:
Price elasticity could be defined as when the desire for a product changes as it's price changes. When people's desires changes or they are no longer interested as the price for the commodity goes up. Inelastic demand is defined as when the buyers demand does not change or is not influenced as the price of the commodity goes up, rather the demand decreases than increasing. The price rise will increase city revenues if the elasticity of demand for electricity and natural gas is elastic.

(C) Pepin The Short
Explanation:
In 741AD, Pepin took over from his father as Mayor of the Palace. He ruled alongside his elder brother.
In 743AD, Pepin and his brother chose Childeric to be the <em>apparent</em> King of the Franks. Both brothers still wielded the functional power to the throne. Childeric was just to 'appear to be' the King (unknown to him though).
In 747AD, Pepin's brother stepped down (intentionally and on his own accord). Pepin then became the only ruler of the entire Frankish territory.
In 751AD, Pepin, without full support from his clan, lured Childeric into monastery in order to remove him as the 'face of Francia'.
Pope Zacharias helped Pepin to be proclaimed King of the Franks, against all opposition.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In simple words, The fundamental mistake throughout the attribution refers to the propensity for individuals to overemphasise personal attributes and neglect environmental variables in evaluating actions of others.
For instance, in one experiment whenever something unpleasant occurred to somebody else, participants blamed the actions or attitude of that individual 65 per cent of the total times. Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.
