Question:

For the given five values, 3.6, 4.3, 4.3, 3.4, 4.4, the three years moving averages are:

Options:

12.2, 12.0, 12.1

4.00, 4.03, 4.40

12.0, 12.1, 13.2

4.067, 4.00, 4.03

Correct Answer:

4.067, 4.00, 4.03

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 4.067, 4.00, 4.03

Given data: 3.6, 4.3, 4.3, 3.4, 4.4

Three-year moving averages:

First 3-year average: $\frac{3.6 + 4.3 + 4.3}{3} = \frac{12.2}{3} \approx 4.067$

Second 3-year average: $\frac{4.3 + 4.3 + 3.4}{3} = \frac{12.0}{3} = 4.0$

Third 3-year average: $\frac{4.3 + 3.4 + 4.4}{3} = \frac{12.1}{3} \approx 4.033$
