.   The manager of a travel agency has been using a seasonally adjusted forecast to predict demand for packaged tours. The actual and predicted values are as follows;

Period         Demand           Predicted

1                  1 29                  124

2                    194                  200

3                    156                  150

4                    91                    94

5                    85                    80

6                    132                140

7                    126                128

8                    126                124

9                      95               100

10                  149              150

11                   98                 94

12                   85                  80

13                   137              140

14                    134             128

a.   Compute MAD for the fifth period, then update it period by period using exponential smoothing with alpha = 0.3

b.   Compute a tracking signal for period 5 through 14 using the initial and updated MADs. If limit is +/- 4, what can you conclude?

    Maintaining a healthy weight is important for women’s health. Some physicians recommend being back to your pre-pregnancy weight six months after giving birth. Public health officials are interested in whether this is a realistic goal. Do the women in North Carolina weigh more than their pre-pregnancy weight six months postpartum? In other words, is the six months post-pregnancy weight greater than their pre-pregnancy weight? Use a paired samples t-test to compare pst6wght (variable 1) and prewght (variable 2). This uses...
