Develop a 3-week weighted average forecast for week 4 through 9 with weights of W₁ = 0.6, W₂=0.3 and W₁ = 0.1. b. Forecast patient admissions for week 9 using exponential smoothing with a = 0.25. Assume that the forecast for Week 4 (F4) is the naïve forecast. c. Use the MSE to determine which of the two forecasting methods is more accurate.
