A pharmacist has been monitoring sales of a certain over-the-counter pain reliever. Daily sales during the last 15 days were Day: Number sold: 2 8. 37 40 45 44 48 49 47 46 50 10 11 12 13 14 15 Day: Number sold: 54 52 53 57 49 53 a. Assume the data refer to demand rather than sales. Using trend-adjusted exponential smoothing with an initial forecast of 42 for Day 8, an initial trend estimate of 2, and a = ß = .3, develop demand forecasts for Days 9 through 16. Then compute the resultant MSE using the error values from Days 8 through 15. (Round your intermediate period-by-period forecast and error values to 3 decimal places. Round your final MSE answer to 3 decimal places.)

A soda company is monitoring the number of cases of soda it produces as a function of time. A manager checked the line several times a day for a week. She then graphed the combined data. Assume that we should see a linear (best straight line) relationship between time and production. What is the best estimate of the number of cases that will be produced in 1 hr on a typical day? 8. 7 1 0.5 1.5 2 2.5 Time in hours Select one: а. 1 b. 2 C. 2.5 d. 4.5 е. 7 Cases of soda produced

Technicians use moving-average lines to detect changes in trends by observing the interaction between the price of an asset and its moving average over a specific period. Consider a stock whose price data over the past 10 days are as follows: Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Stock Price ($) 54.50 54.25 55.75 56.50 57.25 56.00 54.75 53.25 52.50 53.00 5-Day Simple Moving Average ($) Trend Assume a simple moving average (SMA) is calculated over a 5-day period. Calculate the SMA for each day, and based on the SMA, identify any potential changes in the trend during the 10-day period.
