Why do you think using computer software to do forecasting calculations is almost necessary if you are changing the number of time periods for a moving average or the alpha value for an exponential smoothing calculation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two major methods of forecasting

One is the Causal method and the 2nd one is the times series method

Causal method mainly tries to find out cause and effect relation between variable and various factors impacting that variable while the time series method infuences the utilization of the historical data and mainly focus to forecast based on the trend present. It simply ignores the other variables. It just tries to give an idea of a trend, it can't predict the impact of other variables as in causal method.

Linear regression analysis can be utilized in both sort of estimating technique. By linear regression analysis we can anticipate effect of different factor on factor variable. It anticipate the pattern, yet additionally gives an idea about connection among variable and different elements affecting it. That is the reason Linear regression is considered as best technique for forecasting.  

Presently, going to the next part of this inquiry, Time period utilized in moving normal is settled based on fluctuation showing up in how much period, to smoothen out the variation. Also, Alpha value is chosen dependent on the time span to smoothen out the variation in the information. Changing of time-frame or distinctive alpha will make estimation complex. And furthermore, it will make computation more probabilistic as opposed to deterministic which may create mistake whenever done by manual calculation. That is the reason program are important in such sort of computation

Answers

Answer:

Low income group :

Mean = 22.100

Median = 22.000

Standard deviation = 4.717

High Income group :

Mean = 19.771

Median = 20.000

Standard deviation = 3.255

Step-by-step explanation:

Low income : 19,20,13,28,21,27,16,21,19, 19,34,24, 24,14,24,25,23,22,20,21,14,23,17,26,24,24,20,24,27,16,22,17,29,20,25,22,20,34,24,22

High Income : 23 19 19 18 20 18 17 25 13 24 25 17 21 19 17 22 22 15 19 23 19 23 22 20 20 20 13 21 16 13 21 24 23 21 20

Using Excel :

Mean of low income, Σx / n = 884/40 = 22.100

Median of low income group : 1/2(n+1)th term = Median of low income = 22.000

Standard deviation of low income group :

√(Σ(x - mean)²/n) = 4.717

High Income group :

Mean of high income, Σx / n = 692/35 = 19.771

Median of high income group : 1/2(n+1)th term = Median of high income = 20.000

Standard deviation of low income group :

√(Σ(x - mean)²/n) = 3.255

The weight of a product is normally distributed with a mean of 4 ounces and a variance of .25 squared ounces. What is the probability that a randomly selected unit from a recently manufactured batch weighs more than 5 ounces

Answers

Answer: 0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the weight of a product.

The probability that a randomly selected unit from a recently manufactured batch weighs more than 5 ounces:

[tex]P(X>5)\\\\=P(\dfrac{X-Mean}{\sqrt{Variance}}>\dfrac{5-4}{\sqrt{0.25}})\\\\=P(Z>\dfrac{1}{0.5}) \ \ \ [z=\dfrac{X-Mean}{\sqrt{Variance}}]\\\\=P(z>2)\\\\=1-P(Z<2)\\\\=1-0.9772\ \ [\text{Using p value table}]\\\\=0.0228[/tex]

Hence, the required probability = 0.0228

The following functions give the populations of four towns with time tt in years.
(i) P=600(1.12)^t
(ii) P=1,000(1.03)^t
(iii) P=200(1.08)^t
(iv) P=900(0.90)^t
Which town has the largest percent growth rate? What is the percent growth rate?

Answers

Solution :

Transforming given equations :

[tex]1)\ P = 600( 1 + \dfrac{12}{100})^t\\\\2)\ P = 1000( 1 + \dfrac{3}{100})^t\\\\3)\ P = 200( 1 + \dfrac{8}{100})^t\\\\4)\ P = 900( 1 - \dfrac{10}{100})^t[/tex]

From above equations we can see that equation 1) has largest percentage growth rate and the percent growth rate is 12% .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer: (i), 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The Population of four towns is given

(i) [tex]P=600(1.12)^t[/tex] i.e.

[tex]\Rightarrow P=600(1+0.12)^t\\\Rightarrow P=600(1+12\%)^t[/tex]

rate=12%

(ii) [tex]P=1000(1.03)^t[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=1000(1+0.03)^t\\\Rightarrow P=1000(1+3\%)^t[/tex]

rate=3%

(iii) [tex]P=200(1.08)^t[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=300(1+0.08)^t\\\Rightarrow P=300(1+8\%)^t[/tex]

rate=8%

(iv) [tex]P=900(0.90)^t[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=900(1-0.10)^t\\\Rightarrow P=900(1-10\%)^t[/tex]

rate=10% fall

So, the largest growth rate is for town (i)  i.e. 12%

Bowl B1 contains one white and two red chips; bowl B2 contains two white and two red chips; bowl B3 contains one white and four red chips. The probabilities of selecting bowl B1, B2, or B3 are 0.3, 0.2, and 0.5, respectively. A bowl is selected using these probabilities and a chip is then drawn at random. Find:

a. P(W), the probability of drawing a white chip.
b. P(B1 Given W), the conditional probability that bowl B1 had been selected, given that a white chip was drawn.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.3 = 30% probability of drawing a white chip.

b) 0.3333 = 33.33% probability that bowl B1 had been selected, given that a white chip was drawn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

a. P(W), the probability of drawing a white chip.

1/3(one white out of 3) of 0.3(from B1).

1/2(two white out of 4) of 0.2(from B2).

1/5(one white out of 5) of 0.5(from B3). So

[tex]P(W) = 0.3333*0.3 + 0.5*0.2 + 0.2*0.5 = 0.3[/tex]

0.3 = 30% probability of drawing a white chip.

b. P(B1 Given W), the conditional probability that bowl B1 had been selected, given that a white chip was drawn.

The probability of drawing a white chip from B1 is 1/3 out of 0.3, so:

[tex]P(B1 \cap W) = 0.3\frac{1}{3} = 0.1[/tex]

Then the conditional probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.1}{0.3} = 0.3333[/tex]

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that bowl B1 had been selected, given that a white chip was drawn.

Area and circumference of this circle

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The radius is 6 cm

To find the area + circumference we need to use 2 formulas:

Area: pi* radius^2

Circumference: 2*pi*r

First we can do the area

I will use "pi" for pi instead of 3.14

pi * 6^2

= 36 pi

The area is 36 pi

Next, circumference

2 * pi *r

2*pi*6

= 12 pi

So the area is 36 pi, and the circumference is 12 pi

The height of the tank is 11 m and the radius of the tank is 5 m. the height of the water is 6 m and the radius of the water is 3 m. how much more water in cubic meters could you fit in the tank?

Answers

Answer:

221 cubic metre.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of water in tank (v) = π × {3}^{2} × 6

= 54π cubic metre

Volume of tank (v') = π × {5}^{2} × 11

= 275π cubic metre

More Water that can be fit in the tank = v' - v

=275π - 54π

= 221π cubic metre.

What’s the ara of each figure?

Answers

Answer:

433 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the figure into 2 rectangles

Area of the figure = area of the bigger rectangle + area of smaller rectangle

✔️Area of bigger rectangle = L*W

L = 29 in.

W = 13 in.

Area of the bigger rectangle = 29*13

= 377 in.²

✔️Area of the smaller rectangle = L*W

L = 7 in.

W = 8 in.

Area of the bigger rectangle = 7*8

= 56 in.²

✅Area of the figure = 377 + 56 = 433 in.²
