Week Sales (1000s of gallons)
1     16   
2     22   
3     19   
4     24   
5     18   
6     15   
7     19   
8     19   
9     23   
10     20   
11     16   
12     23   

a. Using a weight of 1/2 for the most recent observation, 1/3 for the second most recent observation, and 1/6 third the most recent observation, compute a three-week weighted moving average for the time series (to 2 decimals). Enter negative values as negative numbers.

b. Compute the MSE for the weighted moving average in part (a).

Homework Answers

Answer #1

For calculating forecast for week 4, do (1/2) * 19 + (1/3) * 22 + (1/6) * 16 = 19.50

Error = Sales - Forecast

Similarly for others
