Explanation / Answer

1.)

Option 3 is correct. Rest all graphs show wrong values at some places

The pattern is decreasing trend since we are getting negative return value from where we started.

2.)

MSE = 5.148

Forecast for week 7 = 14

c.)

Forecast for week 7 = 15.036

Mean Squared Error = 3.696

d.)

The Mean Squared Error for Exponential smoothening is less than that of Moving average. So, Exponential smoothening provides forecast than Moving average
