A version of simple exponential smoothing can beused to predict the outcome of sporting events. To illustrate,consider pro football. We first assume that all games areplayed on a neutral field. Before each day of play, we assumethat each team has a rating. For example, if the Bears’ ratingis 10 and the Bengals’ rating is 6, we would predict theBears to beat the Bengals by 10 6 4 points. Supposethe Bears play the Bengals and win by 20 points. For thisobservation, we “underpredicted” the Bears’ performanceby 20 4 16 points. The best a for pro football is 0.10.After the game, we therefore increase the Bears’ rating by16(0.1) 1.6 and decrease the Bengals’ rating by 1.6 points.In a rematch, the Bears would be favored by (10 1.6) (6 1.6) 7.2 points.a How does this approach relate to the equation At At1 a(et)?b Suppose the home-field advantage in pro football is3 points; that is, home teams tend to outscore visitingteams by an average of 3 points a game. How could thehome-field advantage be…
When a popular playwright opened a new play, he had to decide whether to open the show on Broadway or off Broadway. For example, he decided to open his last play off Broadway. From information provided from his producer the following equations were developed: 1,299,000 43,800x-y 23,000x-y = 390,000 where x represents the number of weeks that the show ran and y represents the profit or loss from the show. The firs equation is for Broadway, and the second equation is for off Broadway. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. = las sive and system of equals to determine when the prom vi loss from are show will be equal ivi caur venue. What is the amount of that profit or loss? The profit or loss will be equal for each venue after about 43.7 weeks. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The amount of profit or loss is $ 615100 (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.) (b) Discuss which venue is favorable for the show. Choose the correct answer below. A. The Broadway show is the favorable venue…
Company XYZ produces and sells two types of calculators: Basic and Scientific. The Basic has a lower selling price per unit compared to the Scientific. However, the Basic has a higher contribution margin compared to the Scientific. Due to fixed production capacity, the company has a cap on total production ability.
