Please answer part B and C
Picture a group of ladies named Mildred, Agnes, Dorothy, and Blanche. Do they look young or old to you? Just by knowing someone’s name, you can make an educated guess on how old they actually are. An example of this is the name “Gertrude”. Generally, people named Gertrude are rather... antiquated (old). According to data from the SSA, the ages of all the living Gertrudes in the U.S. are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 81 years and a standard deviation of 12 years. If someone named Gertrude is selected at random, find the probability that that the data lands in section A, B, and C, rounded accurately to 3 significant figures.
Forecasts will be made using the most recent values known. There will be no forecast for the first month. The forecast value for month 2 will be the observed value from month 1, so the forecast value for month 2 is . The forecast value for month 3 will be the observed value from month 2, so the forecast value for month 3 is . This pattern will continue for the rest of the months.
