21 How many observations should a stopwatch time-study analyst plan for in a task that has a standard deviation of 1.50 minutes per piece if the goal is to estimate the mean time per piece to within 0.2 minute with a confidence of 99.0 percent? (Round the intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round the final answer to the next whole number.) Observations

Consider the following time series data: Construct a time series plot. What type of pattern exists in the data? Develop a three-week moving average for this time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 8. Use α = 0.2 to compute the exponential smoothing values for the time series. Compute MSE and a forecast for week 8. Compare the three-week moving average forecast with the exponential smoothing forecast using α = 0.2. Which appears to provide the better forecast based on MSE? Use trial and error to find a value of the exponential smoothing coefficient α that results in a smaller MSE than what you calculated for α = 0.2.

Consider the following time series: a. Construct a time series plot. What type of pattern exists in the data? Is there an indication of a seasonal pattern? b. Use a multiple linear regression model with dummy variables as follows to develop an equation to account for seasonal effects in the data: Qtr1 = 1 if quarter 1, 0 otherwise; Qtr2 = 1 if quarter 2, 0 otherwise; Qtr3 = 1 if quarter 3, 0 otherwise. c. Compute the quarterly forecasts for next year.

Use a multiple regression model with dummy variables as follows to develop an equation to account for seasonal effects in the data: Qtr1 = 1 if quarter 1, 0 otherwise; Qtr2 = 1 if quarter 2. 0 otherwise; Qtr3 = 1 if quarter 3, 0 otherwise. Compute the quarterly forecasts for next year based on the model you developed in part (b). Use a multiple regression model to develop an equation to account for trend and seasonal effects in the data. Use the dummy variables you developed in part (b) to capture seasonal effects and create a variable t such that t = 1 for quarter 1 in year 1, t = 2 for quarter 2 in year 1, … t = 12 for quarter 4 in year 3. Compute the quarterly forecasts for next year based on the model you developed in part (d). Is the model you developed in part (b) or the model you developed in part (d) more effective? Justify your answer.
