The subject is Engineering Data Analysis
Measurements and manipulated variables can vary continuously or may be
sampled discretely.
Select from the following:
a. Driving a car
b. Choose one of your favorite activities (skiing, basketball, making a cappue-
cino, etc.)
c. A stirred tank heater
d. Beer fermentation
The sales of a product during the last four years were 860, 880, 870 and 890 units. The forecast for the fourth year was 876 units. If the forecast for the fifth year, using simple exponential smoothing, is equal to the forecast using a three period moving average, what is the value of the exponential smoothing constant?

In theory, if you create the right specifications and then manufacture a product that meets these specifications, you should achieve customer satisfaction. Consider the following four scenarios for a particular product: A) Conforms to specifications and is competitive in its adequacy. B) Conforms to specifications and is not competitive in its suitability. C) It does not conform to specifications and is competitive in its education. D) Does not conform to specifications and is not competitive in its education. Which of these are not, in theory, feasible, but in practice occur and cause a lot of conceptual confusion?
