IMPORTANT: the numbers used for part C will be different. i will leave the new numbers in the comments. thank you!

The Carbondale Hospital is considering the purchase of a new ambulance. The decision will rest partly on the anticipated mileage to be driven next year. The miles driven during the past 5 years are as follows: 1 2 3 4. 5 Year Mileage 3,000 4,050 3,400 3,750 3,700 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 = 41.7 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 0.45 and 0.55 (the weight of 0.55 is for the most recent period) = 3,723 miles (round your response to the nearest whole number). one decimal The MAD for the forecast developed using a weighted 2-year moving average with weights of 0.45 and 0.55 = 60.8 miles (round your response place). (Hint: You will have only 3 years of matched data.) d) Using exponential smoothing with a = 0.20 and the forecast for year 1 being 3,100, the forecast for year 6 = 3,467 miles (round your response to the nearest whole number)
