Stella [2.4K]

Given the table below of the prices for the Lenovo zx-81 chip during the last 12 months

$\begin{tabular}
{|c|c|c|c|}
Month&Price per Chip&Month&Price per Chip\\[1ex]
January&\$1.90&July&\$1.80\\
February&\$1.61&August&\$1.83\\
March&\$1.60&September&\$1.60\\

The forcast for a period $F_{t+1}$ is given by the formular

$F_{t+1}=\alpha A_t+(1-\alpha)F_t$

where $A_t$ is the actual value for the preceding period and $F_t$ is the forcast for the preceding period.

Part 1A:
Given <span>α = 0.1 and the initial forecast for october of $1.83, the actual value for october is $1.57.

Thus, the forecast for period 11 is given by:

$F_{11}=\alpha A_{10}+(1-\alpha)F_{10} \\ \\ =0.1(1.57)+(1-0.1)(1.83) \\ \\ =0.157+0.9(1.83)=0.157+1.647 \\ \\ =1.804$

Therefore, the foreast for period 11 is $1.80

Part 1B:

</span>Given <span>α = 0.1 and the forecast for november of $1.80, the actual value for november is $1.62

Thus, the forecast for period 12 is given by:

$F_{12}=\alpha
 A_{11}+(1-\alpha)F_{11} \\ \\ =0.1(1.62)+(1-0.1)(1.80) \\ \\ 
=0.162+0.9(1.80)=0.162+1.62 \\ \\ =1.782$

Therefore, the foreast for period 12 is $1.78</span>

Part 2A:

Given <span>α = 0.3 and the initial forecast for october of $1.76, the actual value for October is $1.57.

Thus, the forecast for period 11 is given by:

$F_{11}=\alpha
 A_{10}+(1-\alpha)F_{10} \\ \\ =0.3(1.57)+(1-0.3)(1.76) \\ \\ 
=0.471+0.7(1.76)=0.471+1.232 \\ \\ =1.703$

Therefore, the foreast for period 11 is $1.70

</span>
<span><span>Part 2B:

</span>Given <span>α = 0.3 and the forecast for November of $1.70, the actual value for november is $1.62

Thus, the forecast for period 12 is given by:

$F_{12}=\alpha
 A_{11}+(1-\alpha)F_{11} \\ \\ =0.3(1.62)+(1-0.3)(1.70) \\ \\ 
=0.486+0.7(1.70)=0.486+1.19 \\ \\ =1.676$

Therefore, the foreast for period 12 is $1.68

</span></span>
<span>Part 3A:

Given <span>α = 0.5 and the initial forecast for october of $1.72, the actual value for October is $1.57.

Thus, the forecast for period 11 is given by:

$F_{11}=\alpha
 A_{10}+(1-\alpha)F_{10} \\ \\ =0.5(1.57)+(1-0.5)(1.72) \\ \\ 
=0.785+0.5(1.72)=0.785+0.86 \\ \\ =1.645$

Therefore, the forecast for period 11 is $1.65

</span>
<span><span>Part 3B:

</span>Given <span>α = 0.5 and the forecast for November of $1.65, the actual value for November is $1.62

Thus, the forecast for period 12 is given by:

$F_{12}=\alpha
 A_{11}+(1-\alpha)F_{11} \\ \\ =0.5(1.62)+(1-0.5)(1.65) \\ \\ 
=0.81+0.5(1.65)=0.81+0.825 \\ \\ =1.635$

Therefore, the forecast for period 12 is $1.64

Part 4:

The mean absolute deviation of a forecast is given by the summation of the absolute values of the actual values minus the forecasted values all divided by the number of items.

Thus, given that the actual values of october, november and december are: $1.57, $1.62, $1.75

using </span></span></span><span>α = 0.3, we obtained that the forcasted values of october, november and december are: $1.83, $1.80, $1.78

Thus, the mean absolute deviation is given by:

$\frac{|1.57-1.83|+|1.62-1.80|+|1.75-1.78|}{3} = \frac{|-0.26|+|-0.18|+|-0.03|}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{0.26+0.18+0.03}{3} = \frac{0.47}{3} \approx0.16$

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation </span><span>using exponential smoothing where α = 0.1 of October, November and December is given by: 0.157

</span><span><span>Part 5:

The mean absolute deviation of a forecast is given by the summation of the absolute values of the actual values minus the forecasted values all divided by the number of items.

using </span><span>α = 0.3, we obtained that the forcasted values of october, november and december are: $1.76, $1.70, $1.68

Thus, the mean absolute deviation is given by:

$
 \frac{|1.57-1.76|+|1.62-1.70|+|1.75-1.68|}{3} = 
\frac{|-0.17|+|-0.08|+|-0.07|}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{0.17+0.08+0.07}{3} = 
\frac{0.32}{3} \approx0.107$

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation </span><span>using exponential smoothing where α = 0.5 of October, November and December is given by: 0.097</span></span>

Danny binge watches four TV shows. His viewing habits include:

irinina [24]

Answer:

Danny will watch all of them on the same day again on August 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have a word problem.

The shows and frequency of watching are;

Show A Every 2 days

Show B Every 3rd day

Show C Every 5th day

Show D Every 10th day

Danny watched all four shows on August 1, therefore, the day he will watch all four shows can be found by finding the Lowest Common Multiple, LCM of the frequency of his watching each of the shows. That is, the LCM of 2, 3, 5 and 10

Therefore we have, since 10 is the highest frequency and 3 is not a factor of 10, then the LCM that applies to 3 and 10 is 3×10 = 30.

Since the other frequencies are also a factor of 30, then the LCM of 2, 3, 5, and 10 is 30

Therefore, Danny will watch all four shows again on the same day again in 30 days after August 1. That is August (1 + 30) = August 31.
