A.) Compute the 3-period simple moving average forecasts. Compute the MAD and MSE for the 4-period simple moving average. B.) Compute the 4-period weighted moving average forecasts using the weights=0.25, 0.1, 0.44, and 0.3. Compute the MAD and MSE for the 3-period weighted moving average. C.) Compute the exponential smoothing forecasts using alpha=0.35. Compute the MAD and MSE for the exponential smoothing forecasts.
Use the data below to compute the following:

2 | 407 |
3 | 333 |
4 | 428 |
5 | 332 |
6 | 355 |
7 | 371 |
8 | 481 |
9 | 392 |
