One customer suggests to him that he must use past sales records toforecast demand for his beef so that he can meet his customers demand.I. Using a numerical example, demonstrate to Mr. Ferdinand how he can use a threeweek and a four-week weighted moving average to forecast demand for his beef.II. Show how Mr. Ferdinand can test the accuracy of his forecast. III. Explain to Mr. Ferdinand two ways in which he can benefit from doing forecast forhis beef.
Patxiko just opened his website, where he sells his Patxaran online. His websites gatheres all kinds of data from
customers navigation (time spent on each page, how long the customer has products in his cart before
purchasing, what he purchased, etc). He is trying to optimize the website to increase the probability of a
purchase. First, he wants to predict whether a customer will purchase or not. What model would you advise him
to use? Suggest two methods and explain how one of them works.

- Miles Filtration, Inc. provides maintenance services for water filtration systems throughout Southern Florida. Customers contact Johnson with requests for maintenance service on their water filtration systems. To estimate service time and the service cost, Johnson’s managers want to predict the repair time necessary for each maintenance request. Hence, repair time in hours is the dependent variable. Repair time is believed to be related to three factors: the number of months since the last maintenance service, the type of repair problem (mechanical or electrical), and the repairperson who performs the repair (Donna Newton or Bob Jones). Data for a sample of 10 service calls are reported in the following table: Develop the multiple regression equation to predict repair time, given the number of months since the last maintenance service, the repairperson, and the type of repair.
