For the given five values 16, 25, 19, 34, 46, the three years moving averages are
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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.
