a. Forecast the demand for the taco for April 27 to May 18 by using the simple moving
average method with n-3. Then repeat the forecast by using the weighted moving average
method with n=3 and weights of 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2 with 0.5 applied to the most recent
demand.
b. Calculate the MAD for each method and compare.
