Using the data in the table, use the exponential smoothing method with alpha=0.5 and a February forecast of 500 to forecast
sales for May

Month Demand
January 480
February 520
March 535
April 550
May 590
June 630

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the forecast could be determine by using the exponential smoothing method :

[tex]Ft = F(t-1) + \alpha [A(t-1) - F(t-1)][/tex]

Where ,Ft is the Forecast for period t

F(t-1) is the Forecast for the period previous to t

A(t-1) is the Actual demand for the period previous to t

[tex]\alpha[/tex] = Smoothing constant

To get the forecast for may and june   the above formula with [tex]\alpha =0.5[/tex] and april forecast of 500 will be used

For march

[tex]=500+0.5(520-500)\\\\=500+0.5\times20\\\\=500+10\\\\=510[/tex]

For April

[tex]=510+0.5(535-510)\\\\=510+0.5\times25\\\\=510+12.5\\\\=522.5[/tex]

For May

[tex]=522.5+0.5(550-5225)\\\\=522.5+0.5\times27.5\\\\=522.5+13.75\\\\=536.25[/tex]

So forecast for May = 536.25

Answers

Answer:

  27 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The faces of a regular tetrahedron are equilateral triangles. The incenter, circumcenter, and centroid are all the same point, located 1/3 of the distance from the edge to the opposite vertex of the face. The vertical height of the point that is 1/3 the slant height from the base is 1/3 of the height of the tetrahedron.

Then the "inscribed" tetrahedron has 1/3 the height of the original. The ratio of volumes is the cube of the ratio of linear dimensions, so the ratio of the larger volume to the smaller is ...

linear function for f(-11)=5, slope of f= -2/3

Answers

Answer:

  f(x) = -2/3(x +11) +5

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line will give you the desired linear function:

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . for slope m through point (h, k)

You are give point (x, f(x)) = (-11, 5) = (h, k), and you are given slope m = -2/3. Putting these values into the function form gives ...

  f(x) = -2/3(x +11) +5

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=15^\circ[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached figure for labeling of given diagram:

We are given the following angles:

[tex]\angle AOC = 3x^\circ\\\angle BOD = 2x^\circ\\\angle EOF = 7x^\circ[/tex]

Angles opposite to each other when they are formed by crossing of two lines are known as vertically opposite angles. And vertically opposite angles are always equal to each other.

Using property of vertically opposite angles:

[tex]\angle EOF = \angle AOB = 7x^\circ[/tex]

Line CD is a straight line, so [tex]\angle COD = 180^\circ[/tex]

Also,

[tex]\angle COD = \angle COA+\angle AOB+\angle BOD = 180^\circ\\\Rightarrow 3x + 7x + 2x=180^\circ\\\Rightarrow 12x =180^\circ\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{180}{12}\\\Rightarrow x = 15^\circ[/tex]

Hence, answer is [tex]x = 15^\circ[/tex].

i have a daily allowance of 70grm but have only used 48 what percentage do i have left

Answers

Answer:

You have 31.43% of your allowance left.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Your initial amount, of 70, is 100%.

The remaining amount, of 70 - 48 = 22, is x%. So

70 - 100%

22 - x%

[tex]70x = 100*22[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{100*22}{70}[/tex]

[tex]x = 31.43[/tex]

You have 31.43% of your allowance left.

Answers

Answer:

The critical values of F at 95% confidence are 0.359 and 2.788.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a sample of 21 days of sales at Store A and a sample of 16 days of sales at Store B indicated the following:

Store A                     Store B    

nA = 21                      nB = 16

SA = 28.284              SB = 20

And we are interested in determining whether or not the variances of the sales at two small grocery stores are equal.

AS we know that when we are interested in variances of two samples, we use F-test for doing hypothesis testing.

The test statistics for F-test is =  [tex]\frac{S_A^{2} }{S_B^{2} } \times \frac{\sigma_B^{2} }{\sigma_A^{2} }[/tex]  ~ [tex]F__n_A_-_1,_ n_B_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]S_A[/tex] and [tex]S_B[/tex] are sample standard deviations.

Now, the critical values of F at 2.5% (because two-tailed test) level of significance from F-table at degrees of freedom (21 - 1, 16 - 1) = (20, 15) are given as;

Answers

Answer:

80% confidence interval of the true average number of hours of TV watched per week is [8.28 hours, 11.02 hours].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a college student is interested in investigating the TV-watching habits of her classmates and surveys 20 people on the number of hours they watch per week. The results are provided below;

Hours of TV per week (X): 6, 14, 13, 6, 16, 10, 19, 4, 5, 5, 18, 8, 7, 14, 8, 8, 9, 12, 6, 5.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 80% confidence interval for the true average is given by;

                                P.Q. =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~ [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean number of hours of TV watched per week = [tex]\frac{\sum X}{n}[/tex] = 9.65

            s = sample standard deviation = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{\sum (X -\bar X)^{2} }{n-1} }[/tex]  = 4.61

            n = sample of people = 20

           [tex]\mu[/tex] = true average number of hours of TV watched per week

Here for constructing 80% confidence interval we have used One-sample t-test statistics as we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 80% confidence interval for the true average, [tex]\mu[/tex] is ;

P(-1.33 < [tex]t_1_9[/tex] < 1.33) = 0.80  {As the critical value of t at 19 degrees of

                                               freedom are -1.33 & 1.33 with P = 10%}  

P(-1.33 < [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < 1.33) = 0.80

P( [tex]-1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]{\bar X-\mu}[/tex] < [tex]1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.80

P( [tex]\bar X-1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] < [tex]\mu[/tex] < [tex]\bar X+1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ) = 0.80

80% confidence interval for [tex]\mu[/tex] = [ [tex]\bar X-1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] , [tex]\bar X+1.33 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] ]

                                         = [ [tex]9.65-1.33 \times {\frac{4.61}{\sqrt{20} } }[/tex] , [tex]9.65+1.33 \times {\frac{4.61}{\sqrt{20} } }[/tex] ]

                                         = [8.28 hours, 11.02 hours]

Therefore, 80% confidence interval of the true average number of hours of TV watched per week is [8.28 hours, 11.02 hours].

Shakes cost 15 cents more than a hamburger with
cheese so What is the price of a cheeseburger?
And the price of a shake?

Answers

Answer:

4c+ 2m = 7.90

2m -.15 = c

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = cheese burger

m = milkshake

4c+ 2m = 7.90

2m -.15 = c

Substitute into the first equation

4( 2m -.15) +2m = 7.90

Distribute

8m -.6 +2m = 7.90

Combine like terms

10m - .6 = 7.90

Add .6 to each side

10m = 7.90+.6

10m = 8.50

Divide by m

10m = 8.50/10

m = .85

Now find c

2m -.15 = c

2(.85) - .15=c

1.70-.15 = c

What are the next two numbers in the pattern of numbers;
45, 15, 44, 17, 40, 20, 31, 25, …

Answers

Answer:

Next two numbers are 15 and 32 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given pattern is  

45, 15, 44, 17, 40, 20, 31, 25, …

Here, we have two patterns.

Odd places : 45, 44, 40, 31,...

Even places : 15, 17, 20, 25,...

In series of odd places, we need to subtract square of integers.

[tex]45-(1)^2=45-1=44[/tex]

[tex]44-(2)^2=44-4=40[/tex]

[tex]40-(3)^2=40-9=31[/tex]

So, 9th term of given pattern is  

[tex]31-(4)^2=31-16=15[/tex]

In series of even places, we need to add prime numbers.

[tex]15-2=17[/tex]

[tex]17+3=20[/tex]

[tex]20+5=25[/tex]

So, 10th term of given pattern is  

[tex]25+7=32[/tex]

Therefore, the next two numbers in the pattern of numbers are 15 and 32 respectively.

x^2 + 5x - 24 = 0 How do I solve by factoring

Answers

Answer:

x = -8 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor ax² + bx + c, use AC method.

a times c is 1 × -24 = -24.

Factors of ac (-24) that add up to b (5) are 8 and -3.

Divide by a and reduce: 8/1 and -3/1.

Therefore, the factors are x + 8 and x − 3.

x² + 5x − 24 = 0

(x + 8) (x − 3) = 0

x = -8 or 3

Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the
equation that describes that function.
Express it in slope-intercept form.
Enter the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y = mx + b

m being the slope, rise over run. And b being the y-intercept. Right off the bat we can visually see the y-intercept is -4.

To find slope, we need to take two sets of coords and apply the slope fomula. The slope fomula is change in y divided by the change in x. The function itself is straight, so that means the slope will be the exact same no matter which points you choose.

(4, -1) and (8, 2) are coords on the line. Do 2 - (-1) to get 3. then do 8 - 4 to get 4. Finally, we just gotta do 3/4 which is simply [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex].

We have the slope of 3/4 and we have the y-intercept of -4. Just plug it in the standard formula of y = mx + b to get:

[tex]y=\frac{3}{4} x-4[/tex]
