Recently, the American Medical Association changed its recommendations on the frequency of pap-smear exams for women. The new frequency recommendation was designed to address the family histories of the patients. The optimal frequency should be where the marginal benefit of an additional pap-test:
* As stated in the guidelines, we also assume that the mean of the demand is equal to the product of the mean of the forecasting error and the forecast itself, and the same for the standard deviation of demand;
Surveys (segregated technique designed to test perceptions regarding a product or service) depict quantitative data that will help in the developmental stage of a product or service. This tool is most often used regarding sensitive data. It is relatively inexpensive. Observation is primarily used at the point of sale of a product or service. This tool depicts emotional reactions to products or services.
Company conducted a survey in order to determine the segmentation of people who would like to prefer fragrance and moisturizing cream in the skin care products they use.

1. In question 1, I have assumed its only the Tashtego that makes the trip of Balik to Singapore and back. I have also assumed the relevant cost is the cargo cost only. Therefore, profit contribution of carrying I ton of tapioca from Balik and Singapore:
Using random-digit dialing, we will conduct 250 telephone interviews from a central-location. This approach allows us to reduce the chance of frame error because random-digit dialing allows us to contact all potential participants with telephones, not just those listed in the phone directory. By using our own telephone interviewing facility, we are able to have control over the interviewers and monitor the whole process. In an effort to decrease non-response bias, we will attempt to contact each participant a maximum of four times. The questions will be dichotomous, and there will be some sort of trial incentive to participate, per approval (i.e. free garment dry cleaned). Responses related to awareness will be at the beginning of the survey. Essentially, the responses to the survey will measure overall consumer awareness, and determine whether or not the participant will be further interviewed as an "unaware" consumer, or an "aware" (current) consumer.
For instance, Newegg, the hardware retailer, oftentimes has more than 75 surveys for singular items. These surveys can enable customers to settle on great purchasing decisions.
The first stage of forecasting is to create an index using the existing data. The data is provided on a monthly basis, so the forecast can be created on a monthly basis. The data over the four year period provided is placed into a table, which can be used to assess the average for that each month, as shown in table 1.
In this illustration we assume that each year (beginning with year 2) we made a forecast, then waited to see what demand unfolded during the year. We then made a forecast for the subsequent year, and so on right through to the forecast for year 7.
The time series is a group views sorted by time (and often time periods equal and successive periods vary according to the nature of this phenomenon). And time series have important applications in many areas, including economic, trade and population statistics. As time-series models are typically used to predict the variable values. If the variable to be studied is known determinants, and the factors that affect it, is also used in the case of variable is subject to the expectations of its clients, which is reflected in the future based on what happened in the past. Mathematically: we say that the independent variable time (t) and the corresponding values him dependent variable (y) and that each value at time t corresponding values of y variable y is a function of time t in which: y = F (t), The time series analysis of statistical methods task method, which has evolved a lot, and it was possible to use it for the purpose of expectation for the future supply and demand for a commodity or service. And supports time-series analysis to track the phenomenon style (or variable) over a certain time (several years, for example), then expect for the future based on different values that have emerged in the time series and the pattern of growth in values; and this is superior to the conventional method, since the method traditional calculates the difference in value between the only two date ranges of the time series and builds future expectation on the basis of which, without
