Question
The following table gives the number of pints of type A blood used at Damascus Hospital in the past 6 weeks:
Week Of Pints Used
August 31 360
September 7 389
September 14 410
September 21 378
September 28 368
October 5 374
a) The forecasted demand for the week of October 12 using a 3-week
moving average = 373.33 pints (round your response to two decimal places).
b) Using a 3-week weighted moving average, with weights of 0.15, 0.25, and 0.60, using 0.60 for the most recent week, the forecasted demand for the week of October 12 = ? pints (round your response to two decimal places and remember to use the weights in appropriate order — the largest weight applies to most recent period and smallest weight applies to oldest
period.)

- The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. The table contains data for beak heat loss, as a percentage of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius. The data show that beak heat loss is higher at higher temperatures and that the relationship is roughly linear. [Note: The numerical values in this problem have been modified for testing purposes.] Temperature (°C) 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 Percent heat loss from beak 33 33 33 31 37 44 56 52 45 54 46 55 57arrow_forwardIt is thought that prehistoric Indians did not take their best tools, pottery, and household items when they visited higher elevations for their summer camps.

- Suppose u1 and uz are true mean stopping distances at 50 mph for cars of a certain type equipped with two different types of braking systems. The data follows: m = 6, x = 115.6, s1 = 5.03, n = 6, y = 129.9, and s2 = 5.38. Calculate a 95% CI for the difference between true average stopping distances for cars equipped with system 1 and cars equipped with system 2. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
