E) Greater than 4.50%
7) Which forecast is the best (the three-period or four-period weighted method)?
A) The 3-period moving average is the best forecast because the MAD and MAPE are less than the 4-period moving average MAD and MAPE .
B) The 3-period moving average is the best forecast because the MAD and MAPE are greater than the 4-period moving average MAD and MAPE.
C) The 4-period moving average is the best forecast because the MAD and MAPE are less than the 3-period moving average MAD and MAPE.
D) The 4-period moving average is the best forecast because the MAD and MAPE are greater than the 3-period moving average MAD and MAPE.
