a)
Forecast of high temperature today, using a 3-day moving average = Average of previous three days high temperature
= (35+32+36)/3
= 34.33
b)
Forecast of high temperature today, using a 2-day moving average = Average of previous three days high temperature
= (32+36)/2
= 34
Parts c) to e) are solved in the following spreadsheet
Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) = 2.83
Mean Squared Error (MSE) = 10.50
Mean Absolute PErcent Error (MAPE) = 8.17 %
