Trinity General Hospital had the following number of patient admissions during the past 8 weeks Week Patient Admissions 1 120 2 145 3 95 4 112 5 130 6 110 7 100 8 140 a. Develop a 3-week weighted average forecast for Week 4 through 9 with weights W1 = 0.2 W2 = 0.3 W3 = 0.5 b. Forecast patient admissions for week 9 using simple exponential smoothing with α = 0.2. Assume that the forecast for Week 2 (F2) is the naïve forecast.
