John Kittle, an independent insurance agent, uses a five-year moving average to forecast the number of claims made in a single year for one of the large insurance companies he sells for. He has just discovered that a clerk in his employ incorrectly entered the number of claims made four years ago as 1,400 when it should have been 1,200.a. What adjustment should Mr. Kittle make in next year’s forecast to take into account the corrected value of the number of claims four years ago?b. Suppose that Mr. Kittle used simple exponential smoothing with a = .2instead of moving averages to determine his forecast. What adjustment is now required in next year’s forecast? (Note that you do not need to know the value of the forecast for next year in order to solve this problem.)

An economist wants to compare the economic growth rate (%) within 50 kilometers and 100 kilometers to cities in a country. He collected 6 cities of the country, and calculated the growth rates with 50km and 100km as shown in the following table. Choose an appropriate test to validate that regions within 100km have higher economic growth rate than the regions within 50km to cities. You can make certain assumptions, but need to write to indicate your assumption. Show calculations by hand.
