Answer:
The forecasted demand for the week of October 12 using a 3-week moving average is 376,710
Explanation:
a) Data
21-Sep 383,383
28-Sep 368,368
5-Oct 378,378
Total 1,130,129
Average = 1,130,129/3 = 376,710
b) To calculate the moving average, the quantities for three weeks' demand are added and divided by 3. This shows that the average demand for type A blood at the Damascus Hospital will be 376,710, going by the figures provided. If the correct figures should have been 383, 368, and 378, the average would have equal to 376 pints.
