Sagot :

The value of the mean absolute percentage error of the forecast for march found by the exponential smoothing method with a smoothing constant of 0. 3 is  16.94%

How to solve for the  mean absolute percentage error

The equation is given as

∝At + (1-∝) Ft

The value for Alpha = 0.7

1 - ∝ = 1 - 0.7

= 0.3

Forecast in match = 62

Ft = 51. 5

the difference = 62 - 51.5

= 10.5

The error = 10.5/62 * 100

= 16.94%

Hence the value of the  mean absolute percentage error of the forecast for march found by the exponential smoothing method with a smoothing constant of 0. 3 is  16.94%
