Cynthia’s Design Studios had sales in the last four months of $12,700, $14,500, $19,100, and $15,800. Sales are related to how many designers Cynthia has on duty. The sales forecast helps her decide on the proper staffing levels.
What is the forecast for the fifth month using a two-period moving average?
What is the forecast for the fifth month using = 0.8 in an exponential smoothing model with A4 = $15,800 and F4 = $17,913 to get things started.
An economist wants to compare the economic growth rate (%) within 50 kilometers and 100 kilometers to cities in a country. He collected 6 cities of the country, and calculated the growth rates with 50km and 100km as shown in the following table. Choose an appropriate test to validate that regions within 100km have higher economic growth rate than the regions within 50km to cities. You can make certain assumptions, but need to write to indicate your assumption. Show calculations by hand.
If actual period demand varies from the forecast by more than 3MAD, this indicates: there is 3%
chance that the forecast is wrong. there is a 98% chance that the forecast is wrong. there is a 97%
chance that the forecast is wrong. there is a 3% chance that the forecast is correct Moving to the

This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?arrow_forward

The method of infection with HIV affects the time interval before AIDS develops. One study of HIV patients who were infected by intravenous drug use found that 17% of the patients had AIDS after 4 years, and 54% had developed the disease after 11 years. The relationship between the time interval and the percentage of patients with AIDS can be modeled accurately with a linear equation. a. Write a linear equation y=mt + b that models these data, using the ordered pairs (4,0.17) and (11,0.54). b. Use your equation from part a to predict the number of years before three quarters of these patients will have AIDS. a. The linear equation is. (Simplify your answer.

To study this, a researcher examined a species of coral that is found in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. At 12 localities, he determined the average annual calcification rate of coral over a period of several years and the average annual maximum sea surface temperature during the same period. Calcification rate affects the growth of coral, with higher rates corresponding to greater growth. The table contains data for these 12 localities.

There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level.

Shelia’s measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μ = 125 mg/dl and σ = 11 mg/dl. a)What are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of sample proportion if measurements are made instead on 40 separate days? b)If measurements are made on 40 separate days and the mean result is compared with the criterion 140 mg/dl, what is the probability that Shelia is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes? c)Let’s consider what could happen if we took 40 separate measurements from Shelia.
