for the last week, daily high temperatures in st.louis were as follows: 93, 94, 93, 95, 96, 88 and 90. i. calculate the mean absolute deviation based on a 2-day moving average. ii. compute the mean squared error for the 2-day moving average. iii. calculate the mean absolute percent error fort he 2-day moving average.
. 4.5 The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of a new ambulance. The decision will rest partly on the antici- pated mileage to be driven next year. The miles driven during the past 5 years are as follows: YEAR MILEAGE 1. 3,000 4,000 3,400 4. 3,800 5. 3,700 a) Forecast the mileage for next year (6th year) using a 2-year moving average. b) Find the MAD based on the 2-year moving average. (Hint. You will have only 3 years of matched data.) c) Use a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of .4 and 6 to forecast next year's mileage. (The weight of .6 is for the most recent year.) What MAD results from using this approach to forecasting? (Ilint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.) d) Compute the forecast for year 6 using exponential smoothing, an initial forecast for year of 3,000 miles, and a .5. Px
Daily high temperatures in St. Louis for the last week were as​ follows: 92​, 91​, 95​, 95​, 96​, 90​, 93 ​(yesterday). ​a) The high temperature for today using a​ 3-day moving average ​= 9393 degrees ​(round your response to one decimal​ place). ​b) The high temperature for today using a​ 2-day moving average ​= 91.591.5 degrees ​(round your response to one decimal​ place). ​c) The mean absolute deviation based on a​ 2-day moving average​ = 2.42.4 degrees ​(round your response to one decimal​ place). ​d) The mean squared error for the​ 2-day moving average​ = nothing degrees2 ​(round your response to one decimal​ place).
