Q4 QUESTION 41. The owner of a small brewery is using Winters method to forecast his quarterly beer sales. Hehas been using smoothing constants of a = 0.2, ß = 0.2, and y = 0.2. He has currently obtained thefollowing values of the various slope, intercept, and seasonal factors: S10 = 120, G10 = 14, c10 =1.2, c9 = 1.1, c8 =0.8, and c7 = 0.9.a. Determine the forecast for beer sales in Quarter 11.b. Suppose that the actual sales turn out to be 128 in Quarter 11. Find S11 and G11, and the updatedvalues of the seasonal factors.%3D%3D%3D%3D%3Dc. Determine the forecasts made at the end of Quarter 11 for Quarters 12 and 13.QUESTION 51. A local firm is planning its workforce and production levels over the next year. The firm makes avariety of microprocessors and uses sales dollars as its aggregate production unit.

The processing of raw coal involves “washing,” in which coal ash (nonorganic, incombustible material) is removed. The article “Quantifying Sampling Precision for Coal Ash Using Gy’s Discrete Model of the Fundamental Error” (Journal of Coal Quality, 1989:33–39) provides data relating the percentage of ash to the volume of a coal particle. The average percentage of ash for six volumes of coal particles was measured. The data are as follows: Volume (cm3) 0.01 0.06 0.58 2.24 15.55 276.02 Percent ash 3.32 4.05 5.69 7.06 8.17 9.36 Using the most appropriate model, predict the percent ash for particles with a volume of 48 cm3. Round answer to three decimal places. * the answer i got was of 6.260 was wrong
