Computing discrepancies:

Step1: Add a column named “Average” in “Region 1” sheet. To compute average for every month for “Region 1”: Use the formula “((B7-B6)+(C7-C6)+(D7-D6)+(E7-E6)+(F7-F6)+(G7-G6)+(H7-H6))/7” to compute monthly average for “Jan-18”. Similarly calculate average for every month.

d.

Computing Adjusted forecast:

Step1:

In order to compute adjusted forecast, find the average of Forecast sales and Actual sales for every month, and total forecast sales for each month.

Compute Average Forecast sale by using the below formula:

Avg. of Forecast Sale (Avg of FS) =(ForecastSale(product1+...+product7))/7(Avg of FS) =AVERAGE(B5:H5)(Avg of FS) =10+20+5+12+20+5+34=>15.14

Compute Average Actual sale by using the below formula:

Avg. of Actual Sale (Avg of AS) =(ActualSale(product1+...+product7)/7)(Avg of AS)=AVERAGE(B6:H6)(Avg of AS)=12+21+5+12+21+5+36=>16.00

Compute monthly forecast sales total by using the below formula:

Monthly Forecast sale total=ForecastSale(product1+

Explanation of Solution

e.

Total sales projections:

Step 1: Take a fresh sheet and name it as “graph”. In that sheet, calculate total sales projections for every region. For region 1, the total projection sale is calculated by adding all the values from the column “Monthly Forecast Sale total”. Do this for the two other regions.

Assume a file named “tiobeIndex” containing the ratings of programming languages as follows.There are six fields in each line separated by comma. The first filed is the ranking in Septemberthis year. The second filed is the ranking in September last year. The first row shows the meaningfor each field, the remained rows show the rating information for the top 10 programminglanguages. Write commandsto finish following tasks. Sep 2020, Sep 2019, Change, Programming Language, Ratings, Change 1, 1, , Java, 12.687%, -5.55%   1) Output only the two fields: ranking in September this year and name of programminglanguage using awk.Note: add text "Ranked" before the rank, and put a colon between the rank and the name.E.g. The info for Java should be displayed asRanked 1:Java 2) Change the plus sign in the third field to text "increase".E.g. Info for PHP should be changed to6, 7, increase, PHP, 2.210%, -0.64%
The file ClassificationData.xlsx (Screenshot attached below) contains the following information about the top 25 MBA programs: percentage of applicants accepted, percentage of accepted applicants who enroll, mean GMAT score of enrollees, mean undergraduate GPA of enrollees, annual cost of school (for state schools, this is the cost for out-of-state students), percentage of students who are minorities, percentage of students who are non-U.S. residents, and mean starting salary of graduates (in thousands of dollars).Use these data to divide the top 25 schools into 4 clusters, usingfor example the K-Means clustering algorithm, and interpret your clusters. The method is explained in our textbook: Section 8.8 in the Fourth and Fifth Edition or Section 14.3 in the Sixth Edition. More precisely, use Evolutionary Solver to find 4 schools to be used as cluster centers and to assign all other schools to one of these cluster centers. Each school is then assigned to the nearest cluster center,…
