For the given values 27, 35, 42, 45, 51, 34, 43; the five yearly moving averages are:- |
38, 40, 42 40, 41.4, 43 41.5, 42, 45 42, 44, 45.3 |
40, 41.4, 43 |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 40, 41.4, 43 ** Given data: 27, 35, 42, 45, 51, 34, 43 Five-year moving averages: 1st average (first 5 values): $27+35+42+45+51 = 200$ $\text{MA}_1 = 200/5 = 40$ 2nd average (values 2 to 6): $35+42+45+51+34 = 207$ $\text{MA}_2 = 207/5 = 41.4$ 3rd average (values 3 to 7): $42+45+51+34+43 = 215$ $\text{MA}_3 = 215/5 = 43$ Five-year moving averages: 40, 41.4, 43 |
