For the given five values 16, 25, 19, 34, 46, the three years moving averages are |
20, 26, 33 20, 26, 32 21, 25, 33 20, 25, 34 |
20, 26, 33 |
The correct answer is Option (1) → 20, 26, 33 ** Given values: $16,\;25,\;19,\;34,\;46$ Three–year moving average is computed by taking each group of three consecutive values and dividing their sum by 3. First average: $16 + 25 + 19 = 60$ $\frac{60}{3} = 20$ Second average: $25 + 19 + 34 = 78$ $\frac{78}{3} = 26$ Third average: $19 + 34 + 46 = 99$ $\frac{99}{3} = 33$ The three–year moving averages are 20, 26, 33. |
