An operations manager is performing a factor$-$rating analysis to help her choose an outsourcing provider. She is focusing on three factors: A$,$ B$,$ and C$,$ with v$-$its o $0\mathrm{.}50,0\mathrm{.}20,$ and $0\mathrm{.}30,$ respectively. She has scored one potential outsourcer, Ling Services, on each of the factors using a scale of $10-50.$ Ling Services received a sc $28$ for factor $A,14$ for factor B$,$ and $14$ for factor $C.$ What is the factor$-$rating score for Ling Services?

QUESTION $3$

Suppose ST $260$ enrollment in a semester $($fall$,$ spring, or summer$)$ were to be forecasted using trend and seasonality decomposition. The parameters for this forecasting model are provided below:

Intercept $=395\mathrm{.}2,$ Slope $=7\mathrm{.}7,S_{\text{f}\text{a}\text{l}\text{l}}=1\mathrm{.}4,S_{\text{s}\text{p}\text{r}\text{i}\text{n}\text{g}}=1\mathrm{.}2,S_{\text{s}\text{u}\text{m}\text{m}\text{e}\text{r}}=0\mathrm{.}4$

Determine the forecast for semester $8,$ given that semester $1$ was a fall semester.

Compute the forecast value to one decimal place; e$.$g$.,$ xx$.$x$.$
