= Question 1, 16.2.6-T » HW Score: 84.5%, 42.25 of 50 points = Homework: Unit 6 Lab Assignment < sl - I . - - R C B save : = How have stocks performed in the past? The following table shows performance of a broad measure of stock performance (by percentage) for each decade from the 1830s through the 2000s. Complete parts a through g below.

What is the exponentially smoothed forecast for the 2010s? @ Question 3 =l (Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.) e. Repeat (c) and (d) using W = 0.25. Exponentially smooth the series and plot the results.

Compare the results of (d) and (e). Choose the correct answer below. The forecast value when W = 0.50 is less than the forecast value when W = 0.25 because the value of W is inversely proportional with the forecast value. . The forecast value when W = 0.50 is greater than the forecast value when W =0.25 because a larger value of W eliminates the effects of outliers and irregular variations, while a smaller value of W is preferable for short-term predictions. The forecast value when W = 0.50 is less than the forecast value when W = 0.25 because a smaller value of W eliminates the effects of outliers and irregular variations, while a larger value of W is preferable for short-term predictions. o . The two forecast values are the same, because the given data set has no outliers. A smaller value of W is preferable when attempting to eliminate the effects of outliers and irregular variations, while a larger value is preferable for short-term predictions. g. What conclusions can you reach concerning how stocks have performed in the past? > Based on the exponentially smoothed series with W = 0.50, there appears to be a general downward trend of stock performance in the past. . Based on the exponentially smoothed series with W =0.50, there appears to be a general upward trend of stock performance in the past. . Based on the exponentially smoothed series with W = 0.25, there appears to be a general upward trend of stock performance in the past. ). Based on the exponentially smoothed series with W =0.25, there appears to be a general downward trend of stock performance in the past.
