The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of a new ambulance. The decision will rest partly on the anticipated mileage to be driven next year. The miles driven during the past 5 years are as follows: Year Mileage a) Using a 2-year moving average, the forecast for year 6= 3750 miles (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) If a 2-year moving average is used to make the forecast, the MAD based on this = 1 3,050 2 3,950 3 3,400 4 3,750 5 3,750 miles (round your response to one decimal place). (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data)

Consider the following from an estate agent’s business nationally:   Month Houses Sold Jan 380 Feb 360 Mar 390 Apr 400 May 390 June 380 July 394 Aug 454 Sep 460 Oct 460 Nov 430 Dec 370     Calculate the three point moving averages (quarters) and seasonal variation for the above data   Define moving averages and how they’re useful in forecasting (use Harvard referencing)                                                                     At races, your horse, White Rum, has a probability of 1/20 of coming 1st, 1/10 of coming 2nd and a probability of ¼ in coming 3rd. First place pays $5,000 to the winner, second place $4,000 and third place $1,350. Hence, is it worth entering the race if it costs $1050?                          Your company plans to invest in a particular project. There is a 40% chance you will lose $3,000, a 45% chance you will break even, and a 15% chance you will make $5,500.…
