you can see in the following table, demand for heart transplant surgery at Washington General Hospital has increased steadily in the past few years:
Year 1 2 3 4 5
Heart Transplants 48.0 48.0 53.0 57.0 57.0
Year 1 2 3 4 5
Heart Transplants 44.0
The director of medical services predicted 6 years ago that demand in year 1 would be 44.0 sureries.
A) using exponential smoothing with a of 60.0 anf the given forecast for year 1, the forecasts for 2 years through 6 are? (round your answers to one decimal place)
For the forecast made using expotienal smoothing with a=60.0 and the given forecasts for year 1, MAD= _ surgeries (round your response to one decimal place)
Using expotiental smoothing with a of 90.0 and the given forecast for year 1, the forcasts for years 2 through 6 are (round your responses to one decimal place)
For the forecast made using expotiental smoothing with a=0.90 and given forecast for year 1, MAD= _ surgeries (round your response to one decimal place)
b) forecasts for years 4 through 6 using a 3 year moving average are? (round your response to one decimal place)
For forecast made using a 3 year moving average MAD = _ surgeries (round your answer to one decimal place)
C) forecasts for years 1 through 6 using the trend-projection method are (round your response to one decimal place)
For forecasts made using the trend-projection method, MAD= _ surgeries (round your response to one decimal place)
D) based on the comparison of MAD, the best forecast is archived using the _ method

Your group has the following equipment: An electroscope, a foam tube, fur, a small plastic cup, a small metal cup. You perform the experiments described below and record the outcomes. For each of the experiments, use your understanding of the electric field to explain why each outcome happened.
-Make sure your explanations use the concept of the electric field rather than “opposite charges attract/same charges repel” ideas.
-Draw LARGE charge diagrams to illustrate your explanations. Show the shape of the electric field by including electric field lines.
Experiments:
a. Bring the charged end of a foam tube down toward the top of an uncharged electroscope without touching the electroscope. Outcome: The metal strips separate.
b. Take the charged end of the foam rod away from the top of the uncharged electroscope. Outcome: The metal strips come back together
c. Repeat the first two experiments, only this time a metal can covers the electroscope but doesn’t touch it. Outcome: The metal strips do not separate.
d. Repeat the first two experiments, only this time a glass beaker covers the electroscope but doesn’t touch it. Outcome: The metal strips separate then come back together, but much less significantly than in experiments a. and b.

There is a wealth of information available on how companies can select projects which will be profitable, how to align projects with a company's strategic objectives, how to evaluate proposals, and in general, how to have a successful project. Yet while projects today are more successful than ever, a substantial number still fail.
Consider some projects that you have worked on either at your job (e.g. office software upgrades, new accounting system, moving to a new location) or in your personal life (e.g. a wedding, modernizing a kitchen, an extensive vacation). Please try and explain why the project you worked on was successful or a failure.

You are a community leader with a long experience in fighting for quality improvement in health care. The new CEO of the most important hospital (nonprofit) in your city received the mandate from the Board of Directors (BOD) to set a formal patient and family advisory council (PAC). This council will report directly to the BOD. Additionally, the BOD has appointed you as the first Chair of the PAC.
You are told that the hospital has serious problems in quality and performance.

For this discussion forum, conduct research on a current news event that has something to do with diversity in the workplace or in society at large. (Current means within the last 30 - 45 days.) Your current event can be about anything related to diversity, including positive stories of people doing good things. Diversityinc.com is a great source. You can also google and search using "diversity" + "news" and you will find an endless supply of news stories. Make sure the site you use is a reputable source. (Do not use information obtained from a blog.) Post a summary of the article and give us your opinion about the relevance of the article. Discuss how the issue is related to our class. Provide a link to the article so others can access the article and read it if they choose.

Suppose your selected company(choose one of the two) just paid a dividend of $ 2.20 per share. The dividend are to calculate the share's expected return. You observe that the risk-free rate of return on us treasuries is 2% p.a, the market risk premium is 7 % and the company's equity has a current beta of 1.285. what is the market value of the company's shares? Compare the actual closing price of your selected company's share on the balance sheet date. Why might the actual share price differ from the calculated price? explain. I choose Woolworth ltd in australia and the other company is Wesfarmers Ltd

Kepler-1625b is the name of a planet found outside our
solar system. Its mass is 3180x larger than Earth and its radius is
9x larger than Earth
(a) What is the gravitational acceleration (little g) on the
surface of this planet?
(b) This planet may have a moon. If it has the same mass of Earth
what is the gravitational force between the planet and moon? If the
moon orbits 400,000 km away how fast does it orbit?
