Daily sales during the last 15 days were Day: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Number sold: 34 37 40 39 45 43 47 49 48 Day: 10 11 12 13 14 15 Number sold: 52 53 47 53 47 49 a. Assume the data refer to demand rather than sales. Using trend-adjusted exponential smoothing with an initial forecast of 42 for Day 8, an initial trend estimate of 2, and α = β = .3, develop demand forecasts for Days 9 through 16. Then compute the resultant MSE using the error values from Days 8 through 15. (Round your intermediate period-by-period forecast and error values to 3 decimal places. Round your final MSE answer to 3 decimal places.)
