a) Using a 2-year moving average, the forecast for year 6 = ? 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 = ? miles (round your response to one decimal place). (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)

c) The forecast for year 6 using a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of 0.35 and 0.65 (the weight of 0.65 is for the most recent period) = ? miles (round your response to the nearest whole number).

d) The MAD for the forecast developed using a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of 0.35 and 0.65 = ? miles (round your response to one decimal place).(Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.)

e) d) Using exponential smoothing with = 0.50 and the forecast for year 1 being 3,050, the forecast for year 6 = ? miles (round your response to the nearest whole number).
