a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Probability Density Function

Concept Introduction:

Probability Distribution Function is a likelihood of an event to occur for discrete random variables. Graphically, it shows how likely variables will fall under the probability area.

b

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Probability that a piece of equipment survives more than 20 years.

Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.. It ranges between 0 to 1. O implies no chance of occurance while 1 implies 100% chance of occurance.

c

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Probability that a piece of equipment survives more than 10 years but fewer than 20 years.

Concept Introduction:

Exponential distribution is a probabilitydistribution which finds probability of an event to occur between independent constant rate and continous rate.

Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.. It ranges between 0 to 1. O implies no chance of occurance while 1 implies 100% chance of occurance.

d

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Probability that a piece of equipment survives more than 20 years given it has survived for 10 years

Help answer showing level work and formulas
I need to forecast using a 3-Period-Moving-Average-Monthly forecasting model which I did but then I need to   use my forecast numbers to generate a Master Production Schedule (MPS)  I have to Start with actual sales (my own test data numbers) for August-2022 Oct-2022 i need to create MPS to supply demand starting November-2022  April 2023  I just added numbers without applying formulas to the mps on the right side of the spreadsheet because I do not know how to do it. The second image is the example of what it should look like. Thank You.
