Question: Following are two weekly forecasts made by two different methods for the number of gallons of gasoline, in thousands, demanded at a local gasoline station.
Following are two weekly forecasts made by two different methods for the number of gallons of gasoline, in thousands, demanded at a local gasoline station. Also shown are actual demand levels, in thousands of gallons:
Week Forecast Method 1 Actual Demand 1 0.95 0.72 2 1.08 1.05 3 0.97 0.96 4 1.20 1.00
Week Forecast Method 2 Actual Demand 1 0.77 0.72 2 1.21 1.05 3 0.88 0.96 4 1.15 1.00
he MAD for Method 1 =
0.1180.118
thousand gallons (round your response to three decimal places).
Part 3
The mean squared error (MSE) for Method 1 =
thousand gallons2
(round your response to three decimal places).
Part 4
The MAD for Method 2 =
thousand gallons (round your response to three decimal places).
Part 5
The mean squared error (MSE) for Method 2 =
thousand gallons2
(round your response to three decimal places).
