The Solid Waste Management section of the Environmental Protection Agency Report on the Environment (epa.gov/roe/, retrieved April 17, 2017) included a graph similar to accompanying graph. The report also included the following statement:
The last several decades have seen steady growth in recycling and composting, while the total amounts landfilled peaked in 1990 (145 MT) and have generally declined since then (134 MT in 2013).
Explain how the time series plot is consistent or is not consistent with the given statement.

- John Kittle, an independent insurance agent, uses a five-year moving average to forecast the number of claims made in a single year for one of the large insurance companies he sells for. He has just discovered that a clerk in his employ incorrectly entered the number of claims made four years ago as 1,400 when it should have been 1,200.a. What adjustment should Mr. Kittle make in next year’s forecast to take into account the corrected value of the number of claims four years ago?b. Suppose that Mr. Kittle used simple exponential smoothing with a = .2instead of moving averages to determine his forecast. What adjustment is now required in next year’s forecast?
